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.
