hic-sunt:

Map of Italian Island of Pianosa, made (in)famous as the island where Yossarian et al were based in Joseph Heller’s Catch 22. I am posting this because a little geeky smile crossed my face at work today when I discovered I was working on the aerial charts of this island. 

I know Yossarian was a bombardier and not a pilot or navigator but I couldn’t help thinking what he would have thought of me making it easier to fly to and from his little corner of crazy war.
