Barbara Bond is giving a talk on MI9 Silk escape Maps of World War II at the Warburg institute in London on the 20th November. 'Cartographic Intrigue and Curiosity: The Story of MI9’s Escape and Evasion Mapping Programme on Silk in World War II'. http://www.maphistory.info/warburgprog.html
Looks interesting although living in northern England it is too far for me to attend a meeting in London.
Very interesting, but too far away for me too. Is any one going and may be providing us with information? Stefan.
Recently there was a 'thread' about the WW2 silk escape maps (pardon the pun) on this forum: http://ww2talk.com/forums/topic/54954-silk-escape-map/?hl=%2Bescape+%2Bmap There is ta website with a history of the silk escape maps: http://www.escape-maps.com/escape_maps/history_of_wwii_british_cloth_escape_maps.htm Attending an actual lecture would be a much better way of understanding the topic.
