Item description from seller

Colour map 84x55cm. Very good, folded, with crinkling to the paper. Fifth Edition, corrected to 13 January 1958. This would have provided important practical information to the RAF in navigating the region, with the British retaining significant political, military and economic interests in the Gulf and South Arabia post-Suez, with several RAF bases forming part of their defence. ATC Charts demarcate airspace and reporting points to support navigation and communications during the flight. As they do not show international boundaries or many other geographical features, they include a warning not to use them for plotting purposes. At their broadest level, they divide coverage into Flight Information Regions (FIR), whose boundaries at times follow international boundaries though stated not authoritatively, and mostly tend to be named after prominent locations within them. In this case the FIRs are Teheran, Bahrain, Aden, Baghdad, Damascus, Easternmed, Istanbul, Khartoum, Cairo, Fort Lamy, Malta, etc. Within the FIRs are Control Zones, Control Areas, and Advisory Areas. Airways and Advisory Routes are drawn as a complex web of interconnecting labelled air corridors intended to maintain smooth traffic flow and keep pilots within the authorised areas. Compulsory Reporting Points to assist navigation are marked, including non-directional beacons, radio ranges, fan markers, others, along with geographical locations within the corridors.…
