Thanks everyone for your help, but I still need more help with this. We didn't have questions about the map contents per se. We're actually pretty good on the content. We already have a high-res map of our area, which is what would be printed. We just don't know what to print it on, and how to print it.
And I'm still not sure whether this would need to be on cloth, silk, or paper. But since no one seemed to know much about these even on a forum full of aviation experts, I'm guessing the materials won't be a major deal, as long as the map itself is good. |

... also Luthier, check out these dealers in old war maps. They may be able to help too:
http://www.aviation-antiques.com/maps-1.html - for example, see (BRITISH) WAR OFFICE 1942 LE HAVRE FRANCE, the last map on page 1 http://www.maps-charts.com/Maps_war.htm - see the last map on page 1, Skye and Outer Herbrides [Scotland], 4th ed. 1940, which is stated to be 'cloth backed' Good luck PPanPan |

If it's an escape and evasion map, it'll be usually be silk. If it's an aeronautical chart, it'll be on paper. You really do have some latitude on how it's printed - especially if you're not actually reproducing a period map.

I have a 1930's RAF map of the south east of England. It is paper on open weave linen. I am at work at the moment. I will post more details when I get home.
