Note:
Color pictorial map by Charles Owens, mounted on Japanese paper. Showing the war in the Pacific. The capture of the strategic island of Saipan is illustrated, with a description in the text at upper right: "American conquest of Saipan in the Marianas has completed a pattern for aerial operations of overwhelming dimensions. Military experts envisage bombing flights, principally those of the new B-29 Superfortresses, originating from Saipan and ranging as far as Japan, Formosa, the China coast and the Philippines." Also shows that range, with other centers of aerial operation: the Admiralty Islands north of New Guinea and Chungking in China. Informative text labels provide an effective overview of the geopolitical situation, in keeping with the "air-age". "Red tint indicates Jap held areas".
