Webster L. Quinius was born April 7, 1924. He served in World War II in the Army for the 666 Map Reproduction unit. The Army Map Service was formed during World War II from the consolidation of the Engineer Reproduction Plant, the Library and the Cartographic Section of the War Department General Staff. Initially, many of the maps produced were revisions of existing maps. By the middle of the war, the cartographic work was changed to medium and small scale maps utilizing larger scale native maps as source materials. By the end of the war, considerable effort was being applied to large scale mapping by stereo-photogrammetric methods. Between 1941 and 1945, the Army Map Service prepared 40,000 maps of all types, covering 400,000 square miles of the Earth's surface. Courtesy of wikipedia.com
