ORIGINAL NOT A Reproduction.
18th edition war map from 1944 commemorating D-Day on June 6, 1944. The map, titled "Invasion Map of Fortress Europe," details the war's progression with color-coded regions indicating different statuses or control. Notably, the map includes the phrase "How to get to Tokyo," suggesting the focus on the Pacific theater alongside the European front. The map was designed by Howard M. Teeter, an assistant at The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, located in Coldwater, Michigan, with the phone number 610. The map uses a Mercator projection, a common projection for world maps despite its distortion of areas at high latitudes. Map is vintage and original in excellent condition except there is a slight tear on the middle crease of the map at the top, has creases from being folded, see pictures
