EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, created by renowned cartographer G.H. Davis in 1945, depicts Okinawa Island, a vital strategic location in the Pacific Ocean during the closing stages of the Second World War. With its capital, Naha, having recently fallen into Japanese hands, Okinawa became a crucial base for the air war on Japan. The island's location in the Eastern Pacific made it an essential link between the Japanese home islands and their southern territories, making control of Okinawa a priority for both the Allied and Japanese forces. The map provides a detailed representation of the island's geography, including its numerous islands and reefs, as well as the surrounding waters teeming with shipping lanes and naval bases. The intricate detailing of the map underscores the importance of Okinawa as a military and logistical hub during the war. The fall of Naha marked a significant turning point in the Pacific War, as it opened up the way for the Allied forces to advance towards the Japanese mainland. The Battle of Okinawa, which began in April 1945, was one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific Theater, with estimates of over 240,000 casualties between the Allied and Japanese forces. This map serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Okinawa Island during the Second World War and the pivotal role it played in the eventual defeat of Japan. Its intricate detailing and historical context make it an invaluable addition to any collection of wartime maps or Pacific War memorabilia.
