EDITORS COMMENTS
This contour map of Sicily, created by renowned cartographer G.H. Davis in 1943, offers a unique glimpse into the strategic importance of the island during the Second World War. At this pivotal moment in history, Sicily served as a British front-line objective in Axis eyes, a target of major air attacks on Palermo and other strategic points, and the stepping stone to Italy. The map, titled "Map of Sicily: Showing the Shortest Air Distances from Cape Bon and Malta," highlights the island's location in the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas. The contour lines provide a detailed representation of the island's topography, while the inclusion of air distances from Cape Bon and Malta underscores Sicily's significance as a key military and logistical hub. During the war, Sicily was a focal point of Allied and Axis attention. The island's capture by the Allies in July 1943 marked a turning point in the war, as it provided a base for further operations in Italy and the Mediterranean. The map reflects the intense focus on Sicily as a military objective, with the major air attacks on Palermo and other strategic points evident in the damage and destruction depicted on the map. This historical map provides a fascinating window into the wartime history of Sicily and the Mediterranean region, offering insights into the strategic considerations and military operations that shaped the course of the Second World War in Europe.
