Middle East Briefing Edition by Army Map Service Corps Engineers (1 results)

No Binding. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Colour map, 89x98cm. Stock No. 1308XMEBRMAP*01). Fine, neatly folded. Printed in July 1967 (7-67), this was presumably issued to help inform US military and official discussions in the wake of the Six Day War (5-10 June). It covers the area bounded by the Gulf of Antalya (NW), Diyarbakir and Tall Afar (NE), Tabah and Hail (SE) and Nag Hammadi on the Nile (SW) on a scale of 1/1.5M. Centred on Israel and its neighbours, it shows the Armistice Demarcation Line (or Green Line) which had been in place since 1949 up to that point. Other features include international boundaries (distinguishing demarcated and undemarcated), populated areas, airfields (including "abandoned"), railroads (including "under construction"), primary and secondary roads, and underground oil pipelines and pumping stations (including sections "not in use"). Rare in commerce. Worldcat also records 2nd and 3rd editions dated 1973.
