<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 1151343, member: 84&quot;]I found this at a thrift store today. At first I thought it was a onion skin or mimeograph paper when looking at it inside the glass, but I opened it up because it also looked like there was another map behind it - that turned out to be a map of Germany printed on the back of the France map.</p><p>When I googled A.D.I. (MAPS) AIR MINISTRY No. 7329A found in the lower corner it said this was a scarce silk RAF escape &amp; evasion map that was carried by a 8th Air Force bombardier!</p><p>BUT(!) it feels like cotton? to me - look at the photo of the edge where it looks like the edge was folded/sewn along the edge - they wouldn&#039;t do that with silk, right?</p><p>The measurements are right - 17 3/4&quot; x 23&quot; (I think mine is actually 17 1/2&quot; but I didn&#039;t stretch it out because I didn&#039;t want to hurt it.</p><p>What do I have?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]212299[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]212300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]212301[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]212302[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]212303[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]212304[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]212305[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]212306[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]212307[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
