This 'picture book' was sent home to my Grandmother. It was intended to give her some idea of what the life of an airman-in-training was like. It contains pictures of daily activities such as physical training, technical training, parade, barracks life, etc..





Part of my Grandfather's war memorabilia. Silken maps with lines of Latitude and Longitude. Are these 'escape maps'? I need help to understand what use they were intended for. Anyone have info?
