About This Item
Wilmington, Kaumagraph Company, 1944. Double-sided survival chart, 70 x 90 cm, printed in colours on acetate rayon, old folds. Covering the Western Pacific, this is the largest of the US Navy handkerchief charts. Side one shows winter ocean and wind currents (Nov-Mar) while side two shows summer currents (May-Sep). The charts were prepared through the collaboration of the US Navy Hydrographic Office and US Naval Air Combat Intelligence. They were designed primarily for use by Navy and Marine pilots operating from carriers or island bases and were intended for use in the event of a forced sea landing and as an aid in the navigation of rubber life rafts (escape-maps.com).
