Читать книгу Great Escapes: The story of MI9’s Second World War escape and evasion maps - Barbara Bond - Страница 20

The use of standard operational mapping continued into 1943. This particular escape and evasion series had no title or individual sheet names. All sheets had the prefix 43 which, it is believed, refers to 1943, the year in which production commenced, and so this escape and evasion series has been identified as [Series 43]. A detailed list of the sheets, which are all small-scale (1:1,000,000) with some large-scale insets, is provided in Appendix 5. There are ten basic sheets, produced largely in combinations, with only one sheet apparently printed single-sided. The coverage extends from 10°W to 26°E (Portugal to Turkey) and from 40°N to 52°N (central Spain to Holland).
