This is an extremely rare book and many were destroyed. There are only a select few of these booklet given to Naval officers. During the time of this maps printing the US only controlled 13% of the 209 major islands with 40% still being occupied by the Japanese. This map labels each island in the Pacific and was used by officers during the island hoping campaign. The chart maps included in this set are marked accurate as of July 15th, 1945. This rare map set is complied in a CONFIDENTIAL booklet that marks all Pacific islands as Island Name, Group, and Status. Please note this book has every island in the pacific theater.
