     You asked about sources on the history of wartime silk maps. Wallis,
     Helen and Robinson, Arthur. "Cartographical Innovations" (1987)
     pp271-274, is a good introduction to the subject. In addition, try:
 
     Doll, John G. "Cloth maps of World War II". Western Association of Map
     Libraries Information Bulletin 20 1 (1988), 23-35.
 
     Bond, Barbara. "Silk maps: the story of MI9's excursion into
     cartography". The Cartographic Journal, 21 (1984).
 
     Bond, Barbara. "Maps printed on silk". The Map Collector 22
     (1988), 10-13
 
     Barton, Alfred. "Conquerors of the airways: a brief history of
     thte USAF-ACIC and aeronautical charts". St Louis, Missouri:
     USAF-ACIC, 1953
 
     Stanley, Albert. "Cloth maps and charts". The Military Engineer 39
     (1947).
 
     I hope some of these are helpful; they're taken from a reading list on the
     subject of fabric maps, prepared by Geoff Armitage.
