The other 49 are US Army Orientation Course produced “NEWSMAPS,” a broken set covering the period Jun 26, 1942 through Mar 9, 1944. Printed on both sides, each 47"x35" heavily illustrated issue contains brief articles accompanied by colorful maps describing the progress of the war on all fronts during this period including the fighting in the Philippines, North Africa, Italy and Russia. Versos served as training posters for the troops, displaying such details as German insignia, plane and tank recognition charts, gas attack procedures, etc. Set contains one duplicate and two smaller 24"x18" overseas editions, duplicating larger versions present. Versos of two earliest issues are blank. These fine examples provide excellent coverage and news of interest to the average soldier interspersed with humorous happenings along the way.
