Air Fronts: FM 21-25, Elementary Map and Aerial Photograph Reading
FM 21-25, Elementary Map and Aerial Photograph Reading, War Department Field Manual, Washington, 15 August 1944 (previous issues: 12 April 1941 with C1 - 1942, C2 - 1942, C3 - 1942)
Even though FM 21-25 is more about the use of orientaion techniques and maps by ground forces, it still has some value as an introduction to military maps and the use of aerial photography. If nothing else, any boy-scout should read it.
