An interesting collection that someone had shared with me, that others will no doubt find interesting.

Of particular interest will be some of the Tokyo maps, and maps of other major IJN naval arsenals to

1) understand the scale of the Japanese naval bases
2) the effectiveness of Allied bombing strikes

Hope others find interesting.

Very nice! I hadn't realized that Mt. Fuji is WSW of Tokyo, not North as I thought from photos.

Unfortunately no, in that context Dumb means that they can not talk. Unfortunately, that does leave the politicians out of that place.

Great maps for some tactical game about Coronet/Olympic operations. Was the map info obtained by air photo recon or pre-war knowledge?

mind_messing Thank you for posting this!

The overall site: PCL Maps is an excellent resource for historical maps from all over the world. Used it extensively when I was designing scenarios for ACoW (now TOAW IV) in the early 2000's.
