ABC of Map Reading 1944
Hello everyone,
This is a treat. It's a wonderful 1944 navigation manual for US airmen in Europe, given to me by a patient of mine who was a WW2 RAF navigation instructor. It will make you smile. Please feel free to spread far and wide -- I don't think there are any other copies in existence. (It's formatted for double-sided printing, which is why it's on its side.)

'Here lies a man in his permanent station,
Whose wartime job was navigation.
He leaves behind a sorrowing wife,
'cos he couldn't map-read to save his life.'
Enjoy!
David
