I have a sectional chart from the Roswell, NM area dated 1945. There are
Danger Areas, Prohibited Areas, a handful of NDBs (the Roswell NDB still has
the same frequency that it had then). There is a note on one corner that
says if you are caught passing the information on the chart to the enemy you
will be charged with treason. On the other corner is the price: twenty-five
cents : )

My A&P showed me an old Des Moines Sectional Chart (long since
eliminated) from the 1960s. It was:

- Printed on very sturdy paper, unlike the ones we have today that must
be scotch-taped at the seams immediately, or they shred.

- The color was quite vibrant, compared to today's, even 40 years old.

- The map was one-sided. The flip side contained a plethora of
information that we can only wish was on today's sectionals.

- The price was forty cents.
