Note:
Color map from Herald American Pictorial Review August 1942. with 6 insets. The polar projection of this map effectively shows the proximity of Alaska and the Asian theater of war. " The Second World War saw a revival in popular interest in geography and maps; this interest was further fueled by the new "aviation era" maps produced by mapmakers such as Richard Edes Harrison, and their inclusion in newspapers around the States.
