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.
