No. 1 to No. 4 "Pinpoint the Bomber" Maps

During WW2 Francis Chichester invented a game called "Pinpoint the Bomber" designed to help airmen in Bomber Command find their targets. A quantity of redundant maps originally printed for use with this game was obtained by Chichester and used to make a series of jigsaw puzzles. .

Two are illustrated, namely No.1 Dover to Ostend and No. 2 Bruges to Brussels.

The other two are No. 3 covering South Holland and the Ardennes and No. 4 Duisburg to Koblenz.

All contain details of air-related installations and red circles representing the tracks of aircraft.

A paper map and explanatory leaflet is enclosed with each.
