I worked alongside US elements in Gulf 1.

RAF E&E Map -

1:500 000 of the whole of Iraq, on a natty silk scarf, excellent for wearing in an open cockpit, so that it fluttered behind one's neck.

US E&E Map -

1:250 000 of most of Iraq, larger scaled areas of emergency RV points, pictures of edible and poisonous plants, useful phrases, foldable and designed to fit in a aircrew pocket, national flag on the front to be shown to advancing rescuing troops, made of plasticised paper which could be used to carry water or act as a shelter.

I know which one I preferred.
