Description |
English: An operations map at RAF Coastal Command Headquarters at Northwood in Hertfordshire, 9 July 1943. Ten million square miles of sea. The vast extent of Coastal Command's theatre of operations is graphically displayed on this newly commissioned 20ft x 30ft map at Coastal Command Headquarters at Northwood, 9 July 1943. From the Arctic Circle to North Africa, from the coasts of occupied Europe to far out into the Atlantic, the Command's areas of responsibility had expanded to such an extent that the existing situation map had been rendered obsolete. Work on the new map was supervised by Coastal Command's Map Officer, Captain J. H. Adam, Royal Engineers. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
