'File 6/3 Survey of Kuwait and Neutral Zone by the Royal Air Force (also by American Navy)'
Date:
1930/1949
Description:
Abstract: This file contains correspondence between the Political Agent in Kuwait, and British Authorities in London and Iraq regarding the aerial survey of the Neutral Zone that lies between the Kuwaiti-Iraqi and Saudi Arabian borders. Several papers discuss concerns held by Saudi authorities that aerial surveys would be used to delineate political boundaries.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 163; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. Two additional foliation sequences are also present in parallel between ff 1-162, and ff 144-162; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
