David Rumsey Collection

The David Rumsey collection of maps etc appears have a large amount of the collection online and most are downloadable at reasonable quality.Some items I found of interest were:

1) A selection of WW2 German Army target folders with lots of photos of coastal areas either taken from postcards or guide books of by low flying Luftwaffe aircraft. There were also a small selection of verticals included with them.

2) Aerial photos of San Franciso in 1940s

3) Plans and approach charts for many USAF home airbases from 1951

4) Imperial airways map showing the various emergency landing grounds on the Croydon to Le Bourget route in the twenties (not this century)

Worth a look if you are bored whilst stuck at home

Yes, some interesting stuff on that site.

The Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection also has a lot to look through.
