PREFACE
NPIC/R-64/62
This Mission Coverage Index (MCI) furnishes a listing of intelligence targets
covered by Mission H 3069. The listing provides the latest description based on
photographic interpretation for each target covered by the mission except for those
targets in which no significant change was noted. Items in the listing are arranged
by (1) country, (2) WAC area within the country, and (3) coordinates reading from
south to north and from west to east. An explanation of column headings and photo
reference data used in presenting the information is contained in the appendix.
For convenience of the user, a subject index to the intelligence targets has been
included following the listing. Targets in the subject index are listed (1) by category,
(2) alphabetically by country within the category, and (3) alphabetically by place name
within the country.
The user of this MCI is cautioned that the scan of photography from Mission H
3069 was accomplished in a relatively short time and often without the aid of precise
analytical and mensural equipment commonly employed in detailed photographic
analysis. Consequently, although the information presented herein is essentially
accurate, future detailed analysis may somewhat alter portions of the information.
Mission H 3069, accomplished on 13 March 1962, covered portions of North
Vietnam, South Vietnam, and Laos (see accompanying Flight-Line Trace). The only
major areas covered by interpretable photography were Dong Hoi and Dien Bien Phu,
North Vietnam.

APPENDIX
EXPLANATION OF COLUMN HEADINGS
AND PHOTO REFERENCES
NPIC/R-64/62
City, Installation -- This column contains the name of the city or town nearest
the installation, followed by the name of the installation. If the name of the instal-
lation is not known, it is titled according to its function. The city and installation
names are followed by a capsule description, where appropriate.
Coordinates -- Coordinates are referenced to the SW corner of the minute
square. When the subject installation covers a wide area, coordinates are given
for the approximate center of the installation.
WAC -- This column provides the World Aeronautical Chart number for the
area in which the subject lies.
Installation Numbers -- The Installation Numbers column is divided into two
subcolumns. The first subcolumn lists, when known, the BE installation number
assigned to the target. The second subcolumn lists the installation number assigned
by NPIC. Installation numbers, when used to reference an item, should be prefixed
by the appropriate WAC number, since installation numbers are repeated from WAC
to WAC. For example, there is an NPIC target numbered 0616-1 and an NPIC target
numbered 0617-1. In each instance, the NPIC installation number is 1, but the instal-
lations appear on different WACs.
The photo reference indicates frame(s) on which the target appears, and con-
ditions which affect interpretation of the target.
