IF ORDERED WITH OTHER MAPS, ALL THE MAPS WILL BE FOLDED IN THE SAME MANNER. Reproduction "Cherbourg-valognes" map in 1:100,000 scale. These maps were the most common maps issued to all paratroopers (enlisted or officers) prior to the D-Day invasion.. This is one of the only period maps that shows the geographic location of not only the drop zones/landing zones for the American airborne forces but also both American landing beaches. These reproductions are made from scans of the original maps and maintain the same size, color, and scale of the originals. The grid squares maintain their original size and can be used accurately with modern or vintage protractor tools. They have been color printed on one side of 20LB bond engineer paper leaving the back of the map white.
