This is a nice original World War Two era, rayon double sided map, with heat-treated edge, produced by MI9 from 1940 to 1942. Printed onto rayon in three colors only, this map would have been issued to allied pilots and aircrews, serving in the Royal Air Force throughout the course of World War Two, and prior to D-day. It is a genuine period original escape map, in very nice condition for it’s years, with very light signs of use and wear only, with heavy folding from years of being stored as such. Would look very good in a frame stretched out. The map measures roughly 19 ¼ x 21”.
This is a very scarce RAF Piot’s escape map, ready for further research and display.
