Detailed double sided fabric map. Kanazawa Sheet NJ53 shows Kanazawa, and Sea of Japan. Sendai Sheet NJ54 shows Sendai with the Sea of Japan and Pacific Ocean. Topographic detail. Winds and currents shown.Legend includes roads, railways, geographic features. Scale 1:1,000,000. Maps such as these were issued to defence force personnel during conflict. They were sewn into their jackets so that in the event of an enforced landing over enemy territory the servicemen would be able to avoid capture and make their way to safe territory. Evasion maps were light and durable due to being printed on silk or fabric rather than paper. Fascinating for the detail they record they also bring into sharp focus the risks that were taken by these young men. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 127385)
