Item description from seller

Colour printed paper map 147x106cm. Very good, neatly folded with some spotting and wear at folds. Base information September 1957 with air information current as of December 1958, printed by ACIC 2-59. The base information was drawn during the Syrian Crisis (Aug-Oct 1957), a Cold War flashpoint in which the USSR offered to protect Syria from Turkish attack, and the US threatened to attack the USSR if it attacked Turkey. The conflict was resolved when the US persuaded Turkey to stand down, and Khrushchev paid a visit to the Turkish Embassy in Moscow. This occurred during the Eisenhower Doctrine, announced in January 1957 to provide US military or economic support to countries threatened by Communist aggression. This was motivated by growing Arab hostility to the West and growing Soviet influence in Syria and Egypt post-Suez. It was printed shortly after the Lebanon Crisis (Jul-Oct 1958) which required US intervention in response to perceived threat from the United Arab Republic created by Egypt and Syria earlier that year. This map, centred on the Gulf of Oman, bounded by Turkey (NW), the Gobi Desert (NE), Sumatra (SE), and the island of Lamu on the Kenya coast (SW). Details include area tints, spot elevations, cities, transportation (rail and major roads), international and other boundaries (including those not necessarily recognised by the US, and Soviet Zonal boundaries as of 1 Nov 1954), oil pipelines, etc. Networks of air corridors are shown especially over Israel, Lebanon, UAR (Syria), Baghdad and Tehran with related warning boxes about overflying certain territories, and Prohibited, Danger or Caution Areas. Neutral Zones over Israel and Egypt include those of El Auja (northern Sinai), Gaza and Jerusalem. Boundaries across the Arabian Peninsula are either described as approximate or towards the Gulf as undetermined. There are several descriptions of terrain. Three notes off the Indian coastline state "Numerous dwellings that do not cluster into villages are prevalent along the coastline and major river valleys of India".…
