This "Alaska Flight Planning Map" was published in 1969 by Plan-a-Flight Publishing. In 1968 Plan-a-Flight published a book- "Plan-a-Flight to Alaska- a complete flight guide book to the Alaska Highway." with a fold-out sequence map of airports and emergency airstrips along the Alaska Highway route. There are several institutions that hold the Plan-a-Flight guide book, while no holdings of this Alaska Flight Planning Map are found anywhere on the Internet.
