Maps of the New Guinea area

There are many mentions about the locations in and around New Guinea in the book. We were fortunate to receive many WWII era maps of those locations. Eighteen of those maps are shown in the matrix below. Each map will expand if you click on the cell. This helps put together an understanding of the area in which the 39th FS had to do battle. In order to understand exactly where the areas of combat were and how these maps fit together, we have also added links at the bottom of this page to more modern maps of the area.
