Officers using this chart will mark hereon corrections and additions which come to their attention and mail direct to Headquarters, Aeronautical Chart Service, Army Air Forces, Washington, D.C." Map C-36 depicts central east Asia and the other side (C-37) was intended to be a detailed map of Korea. C-36 is at a scale of 1:5,000,000 in the Lambert conformal conic projection, and contains elevation tints for lower elevations. It was the largest cloth map produced during WWII and covers Eastern China, Korea, the China Sea and Japan. The wind and current data depicted on this map was taken from the Navy NACI-HO S-12 Western Pacific Ocean handkerchief chart. AAF requested preparation of C-36/C-37 in July 1944, and at the end of July 1945 the Army Map Service contracted with the Kaumagraph Company to print the maps. However, due to the Japanese surrender the order was cancelled on August 20, 1945. The contractor had, nonetheless, already printed C-36 on one side of the cloth maps and was directed to cease work and to deliver the charts as printed. Thus, the charts delivered were only printed on one side.
