This is a map of Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands before the United States returned control of the area to Japan. When this map was made, Okinawa was a regular stop and R&R destination for American military when they were serving in the Pacific-Asian theater. It gives a great, though brief description of various points of interest as it related to the battles of World War II, such as Suicide Point and International Cemetery. It was issued to a soldier on leave while serving in Vietna...m as part of a support/training unit. Great bit of history for lovers of Japan, collectors of WWII items or those who collect CalTex or Texaco items.
