Set of Royal Australian Air Force aeronautical maps in facsimile
Adelaide: privately assembled, circa 1992. Single volume of colour photostat charts measuring 50 x 30 cm.; arranged serially in a ring binder, with key chart and three sheets of tabulated data. Very good condition. A significant resource for the history of the R.A.A.F in the Second World War. This is a complete set of the one-to-a-million scale charts generated by the R.A.A.F. for the Australasian and South-East Asian theatres of War. It comprises colour facsimile copies of approximately 150 maps, and includes a key chart and full listing of technical information in tabulated format.
The archive was assembled in Adelaide by aviation history enthusiast Dennis Whiley, for his personal research use. As such, this archive was never intended to be published or made available to the public, and represents a unique opportunity for collectors and historians of R.A.A.F. material. The regions covered by the map series are continental Australia, the Coral Sea, West Papua, Papua New Guinea and the adjacent westerly Melanesian islands, Indonesia, Malaya, the eastern half of Indochina, and oceanic Micronesia.
