The map accompanies a report titled ‘Air Transport in Persia – 1944 and afterwards’ by Walter Leslie Runciman, Air Attaché at Tehran: see folios 119-129. It shows Persia [Iran] in the centre bounded by Iraq to the East, Afghanistan and Baluchistan to the West, the Caspian Sea in the North, and the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman in the South. It illustrates existing air routes between Tehran, and the following places: Meshed, Baghdad, and Tabriz. It also indicates proposed future routes connecting Tehran-Isphahan-Kerman-Zahidan and Tehran-Isphanan-Shiraz-Bushire. Annotations in red ink indicate the approximate distance of these routes in miles.
Shading on the map is used to indicate areas of salt deserts and mountainous regions over 5000 feet. Railway lines and national borders are also marked on the map.
