Item description from seller

Silk or rayon sheet 96x105cm, colour printed to both sides with 2 adjacent 1/2M scale aeronautical charts. Fine with fold creases and yellowing at the folds. Both appear to be first editions dated July and August 1950 respectively, based on Base Map No. 1 with no revisions indicated, with both lithographed by S.S. in August 1951. Between them they take in a significant porton of the Arabian Peninsula. Chart CL 402 (Red Sea) is bounded by the Nile (W), British Somaliland (SE) and the Dahanah Sahra which connects the Nefud with the Rub al Khali (NE), taking in much of Saudi Arabia, Aden Protectorate, Yemen, British and French Somaliland, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and Egypt. Chart CL 403 (Gulf of Aden) continues eastward to include much of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Trucial Oman (naming Abu Dhabi, Dibai, Sharja, Ajman, Umm al Qaiwain, Ras al Khaima and Khor Kalba but not Fujairah), most of Qatar, and parts of Bahrain and Iran. Details include several grades of settlement, roads and rail, forts, lookout towers, springs, water wells and other water features, flats, shoals, rocks, ocean surface currents (yearly average, Winter, Summer), tidal currents, elevations, contours, sand areas, pipelines, boundaries (several of which undemarcated) and lines of equal magnetic variation as of 1945.…
