Item description from seller

Two very rare documents, (2), (2)pp, each printed on official British Government Crown and Stationery Office (SO) watermarked foolscap. Good with single horizontal fold, creased and tanned with some spotting and a couple of short closed tears. Undated c1941-42. No author or publisher is indicated, but they appear to have been issued as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, also known as the Empire Air Training Scheme, or "The Plan". This remains the largest scheme of its kind, covering almost half the pilots, navigators, bomb aimers, air gunners, wireless operators and flight engineers in the RAF, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, RAAF, RCAF, and RNZAF. Parallel to this, the South African Air Force ran a programme for its own aircrew and other Allied air forces. This pair of cross-referring notes informs pilots about dust and sandstorms encountered along the route to India via the Western (Libyan) Desert, Arabia and the Gulf. NOTE 2 explains the conditions necessary for these to occur in the Western Desert, with Mediterranean cold fronts being the "the most frequent cause", and various types of depressions including over Palestine and Syria. NOTE 3 adds observations on sandstorms in Winter, Spring and Summer driven by the switch between the NE and SW Monsoon over the Arabian Sea and India, the Shamal over western Persia, the Sirocco over Palestine, Syria and western Iraq, etc. Sandstorms can extend further east along the route to Persia and Baluchistan, while dust haze extends SE over the Gulf to Bahrain and possibly beyond.
