David Rumsey's website.. Precisely. Do you have any evidence the author was passing it off as their own? -- Roland Perry |

Perhaps recliner can tell us if this map was ever a public document circulated by the airline. I don't know, as I just spotted it on Twitter. Of course, one explanation is that it's a draft commissioned as part of the process of producing the Maholoy-Nagy poster (which contains a substantial geographic representation of the routes, as well as the Beck insert). The mileage numbers of the Beck map won't necessarily have been easy to research independently, so perhaps he was a subcontractor for the bigger project. -- Roland Perry |
