Air Mosaic of Petra.

London: Royal Geographical Society, 1923.

Offprint to accompany Alexander Kennedy’s article ‘The Rocks and Monuments of Petra’ in The Geographical Journal, Vol. 63, No. 4 (Apr., 1924), pp. 273-295. Rather bizarrely the name of the General Officer Commanding and Inspector of Police and Prisons in the Palestine Mandate, Sir Hugh Tudor, appears on this map because he was also given a temporary rank of Air Vice Marshall.
