Description
This map of China was issued during a surging Japanese offensive in the beginning phases of the Second Sino-Japanese War (perhaps the changes references by the characters in the title?). It was printed in Tokyo in September of 1937 (Showa 12), and shows military installations, railroads, and the naval operations area of Admiral Hasegawa.
Aircraft played a vital role in battles for Tianjin, Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing, and numerous locations, possibly airfields or bombing targets, are marked with a small red monoplane symbol. Several manuscript annotations around the last location are also of interest, as the city would soon suffer one of the most tragic and horrific experiences of the entire conflict – the ‘Rape of Nanking.’
