How Large Can I Print?
In general, at 300 DPI, you should at least be able to double the size of the actual image, more so with our 600 DPI images. So, if the original was 10 x 12 inches, you can print at 20 x 24 inches, without quality loss. If your display requirements can accommodate some loss in image quality, you can make it even larger. That being said, no quality of scan will allow you to blow up at 10 x 12 inch map to wall size without significant quality loss. For more information, it is best consult a printer or reprographics specialist.
Refunds
If the high resolution image you ordered is unavailable, we will fully refund your purchase. Otherwise, digital images scans are a service, not a tangible product, and cannot be returned or refunded once the download link is used.

Yank, September 1, 1944.
Yank, the Army Weekly (June 17, 1942 – December 28, 1945) was a magazine published weekly during World War II by the U.S. military. The magazine, which was first available only to U.S. Army personnel overseas, appeared on June 17, 1942. Enlisted soldiers wrote the magazine and a few officers served as managers. Soldiers serving in the United States could get copies of the magazine beginning with the fifth issue (July 15, 1942) but Yank never appeared on newsstands for purchase by the public. Its circulation exceeded 2.5 million with twenty-one editions in forty-one countries. This meant that articles and photographs printed in Yank were written and created by soldiers for their fellow service members. One such article was the first English language interview with Marshal Josip Broz Tito, the communist revolutionary leader fighting the Nazis in Yugoslavia. The magazine featured sketches by artists Howard Brodie, Robert Greenhalgh, and Victor Kalin, along with numerous cartoons, among these were the famous Sad Sack cartoons by Sgt. George Baker. Yank was also famous for its pinups, which included Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall. The magazine closed its offices on New Year’s Eve 1945. Yank was revived by the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division in 2014
