Description
“Special care has been given to the Pacific and Oriental regions because (1) these are least known to American readers, (2) detail maps of other regions are more readily available, and (3) we believe that war activities soon will be confined to these areas.” – Preface.
This fascinating WWII atlas was published in Honolulu, Hawaii by the Tongg Publishing Company in 1942. It was compiled by local scholar and Bishop Museum curator Edwin H. Bryan, Jr.
The contents include twenty-six numbered maps (some of which are composites of smaller plans, totaling 75 maps in all) that cover various strategic areas across the Pacific (one shows Europe and North Africa). A comprehensive index pinpoints the location of over 5,000 place names – a handy reference for those family members anxious to know more about their loved ones serving overseas.
