Item description from seller

Colour-printed map, 845 x 545 mm. An RAF air traffic control chart from the early days of regular civilian flight in the Middle East. Meant entirely for the use of pilots and controllers, air traffic control charts do not show international boundaries or geographical information beyond coastlines, and instead are sectioned into flight information region boundaries, control and advisory zones, civilian flight paths, and various beacons, radio ranges, and other compulsory reporting points. RAF pilots did not always use civilian airspace, and would use a map such as this to avoid wandering into heavily trafficked areas and upsetting carefully arranged and scheduled flight paths. However, pilots were expected to announce their position to the relevant local authority on the ground, and used maps like this one to know to whom to report, or to ask for information on weather, emergency landing options, and other daily necessities. For example, a pilot flying over the Arabian Gulf would consult this particular map and see that they were in the boundary of air traffic control in Bahrain, regardless of the true international boundaries below, whether they were flying over certain parts of Saudi Arabia, the sheikhdoms which would become the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, or Bahrain itself. - Only the most minor hints of wear; well-preserved.

Store description

We have been dealing in valuable books, manuscripts, and autographs since 1883. As members of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), the Verband der Antiquare Österreichs (Austrian association of antiquarian booksellers), as well as the Verband deutscher Antiquare e.V. (German association of antiquarian booksellers), we are bound by these organizations' code of ethics. A large proportion of our customers is made up of institutions, including renowned international universities and major state libraries. We keep contact with our private customers at international book fairs and through our online catalogues. You are welcome to visit us on our business premises from Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM. We are happy to take buying orders for the important book auctions in Germany and Austria, which we attend regularly. We dedicate special attention to the estates and archives of important personalities of the arts and sciences in European and world history. Through specially prepared archive catalogues we have been able to sell the archives of Viktor Léon (librettist, 1859-1940), Leo Fall (operetta composer, 1873-1925), Lotte Lehmann (singer, 1888-1976), Otto Tressler (actor, 1871-1865) and Max Reinhardt (director, 1873-1743), as well as the last privately owned important original manuscripts by Ludwig Wittgenstein (philosopher, 1889-1951). Along the lines of this specialization our buying policy concentrates especially on these fields.
