This large map of Sicily is part of the Newsmap series created by the U. S. Army during World War II. This map shows the island of Sicily with good detail of topography, towns, roads, railways and airfields. The flight paths from various cities are shown along with the distance between the cities. This map was likely distributed in preparation for the Allied invasion of Sicily in July and August 1943, in which the Allies successfully took the island from the Axis powers. This Newsmap is single-sided and blank on verso.
