DESCRIPTION

A WWII wartime map showing the schematic path and tasks of the first-of-its-kind advanced supply echelon to the armies of the United States. This Allied movement took place from March 3, 1944, beyond May 3, 1945. This effort was known as the Advance Section, Communications Zone, European Theater of Operations (ADSEC).
There is a very detailed and lengthy discussion on the verso of the entire effort.
The map shows the path and dates from London to Bristol and across the English Channel to France and on to Paris and through Germany to Bonn and beyond with stops in between. Many vignettes of wartime efforts adorn the map as well as many many aircraft.
