"No there isn't. It is a double-sided map, one side 'Alaska' the other 'Top of the World'. Check out the attached file for details."
"Interesting, wasn't aware of this. My map is from the October Issue 1939 and the title on the map says 'Central Europe and the Mediterranean as of September 1, 1939'"
"Good point, I just collect the maps not the magazines, so not sure where they come from. The 2012 World map does not have a month as usual, so perhaps it wasn't part of an issue. The Pearl Harbour one was apparently printed in April…"
