For the people collecting the Pocket/Short Guides the US Military published in 1943-1945 I’ve compiled a list of the books produced.

The booklets are softbound, 4-1/4 wide, 5-1/4 tall and have roughly 40-60 pages (depending on the booklet) The ones I own don’t have communication maps, only general geographical maps, as they were filled with pretty basic information only
I would like more information on your pocket guide of maps to North Africa (actually I am interested in communication airways maps of North Africa, Mediterranean Areas, Middle East, West Africa). Are these areas all included in one pocket guide? What are the dimensions of the guide? Hardbound? Number of pages?
