1944 Rand McNally World Atlas Premier Edition

Description: Offered for your consideration is a 1944 edition of the Rand McNally World Atlas Premier Edition from a single owner, non-smoking home. This item is listed as in "good" condition (some corner edge wear, limited pencil marks, some page edge wear, etc.), but has been in storage and unused for decades, having been originally used as a reference document to trace family deployments and activity during WWII (make note of a "bookplate" made from a parcel post label, as well as family member record of deployment handwritten on page 206). In addition to typical maps of the time showing then-current political status and names, it also contains flags of the world, military decorations and service ribbon reference, U.S. Army, Navy and USMC insignia reference, and five maps of the global war zones. Also included are "mini-gazetteer" reference pages (see "The Contents" page photo). A great snapshot of the world at a pivotal point in history, made even more unique by the personal information added!
