Airdromes guide, Southwest Pacific Area.
No full textThis publication is intended to provide airdrome data for airmen flying in the South-west Pacific Area.

It is intended that a pilot, with the aid of an Aeronautical Chart (scale one to one million), Radio Facility Charts, Airdromes Guide and Airways Guide will be able to fly anywhere in the South-west Pacific Area with a minimum of difficulty. The Airline Distance Chart shows straight-line distances between principal air bases in the area. These straight-line courses do not necessarily represent the most desirable or safest routes. The Bearing-Distance Table and Geographical Location of Major Air Base Areas by latitude and longitude are produced for the convenience of pilots and navigators.
