Item description from seller

Later edition, corrected to 1958, of this chart showing flight paths around the Middle East and North Africa. Major air traffic control hubs are coloured in blue, with compass bearings, compulsory reporting points, and radio ranges marked in black. The boundaries of each flight information region are also clearly marked. RAF pilots would use these charts to avoid civilian flight paths, so they needed to know who the relevant local authority was in any given area. This allowed them to radio in reports or requests for information to the correct controllers. Sometimes these authorities stretched far beyond the national borders of the country itself, such as Malta spanning most of North Africa or Bahrain over Saudi Arabia. This example is the fifth edition. Colour chart (546 x 845 mm), printed on recto only. Initials inscribed in blue ink on one panel. Chart bright, a little soiled especially to two lower right panels: a very good example.
