Hello All, For those of you who are interested, there is an interesting column titled "Mapping & Engineering the War" which was written by WWII correspondent Ernie Pyle on the Indiana University School of Journalism Web site: http://www.journalism.indiana.edu/news/erniepyle/engineering.html. It talks about the cartographic preparations for the invasion of Sicily. This is another view of AMS history.
