Description

Restricted American Air Force Flight Chart. With Manuscript Flight Chart from Southern Kyushu to Tokyo.

Flight chart of Japan published just after the end of World War II, in October 1945. With manuscript annotations from an American airman, this chart was marked Restricted and was only for US government use.

The map shows the island in fine detail, as it was known to the American forces in the first months of the occupation. Several useful features for pilots are marked, including magnetic deviations and important waymarks.

A pilot used this example of the map to trace a four-leg journey between the southernmost part of the homeland to Tokyo.
