Map No. F-9D in the TPC series: military topographic survey mapping covering the world's land masses & significant islands at 1:500, 000. The maps are useful as general topographical coverage where nothing else is available, although they are designed primarily as flying charts for military aircraft. TPC stands for Tactical Pilotage Chart. Relief is portrayed by a combination of contours (basic interval 500ft, intermediate contours shown where appropriate), elevation tinting & relief shading, plus spot heights. Towns, villages, major roads, railways & airports are shown but please note that many of the smaller settlements are not named & the road information is not necessarily up to date, as compilation & revision dates vary. Some air navigation information also appears on the map, such as radio beacons & restricted flying zones. Each TPC chart has both UTM & latitude/longitude grids overprinted on it, with additional margin ticks. IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: The series is gradually being withdrawn from sale to the general public & some sheets may no longer be available when ordered by us. Due to the nature of the map projection assembling these sheets to make a larger map is not recommended. in addition, colours used for relief are not constant throughout the series. In some areas of central Africa & South America the maps have blank spaces, reflecting localized deficiencies or inconsistencies in the survey data.

Different countries give different opening dates for the period of the Second World War, but perhaps the most compelling is 1937, when the ` Marco Polo Bridge Incident` plunged China & Japan into a conflict of extraordinary duration & ferocity
- a war which would result in many millions of deaths & completely reshape East Asia in ways which we continue to confront today. With great vividness & narrative drive Rana Mitter`s book draws on a huge range of new sources to recreate this terrible conflict. He writes both about the major leaders (Chiang Kaishek, Mao Zedong & Wang Jingwei) & about the ordinary people swept up by terrible times. Mitter puts at the heart of our understanding of the Second World War that it was Japan`s failure to defeat China which was the key dynamic for what happened in Asia.

Yet in the late 19th century China was a ramshackle & isolated medieval empire upon whom the European colonial powers could impose their wishes at will.
