PREFACE
This summary report contains additional information
on "new" and "change" targets and order of battle infor-
mation on all targets listed in the Index (MI) for this
mission.
Items are arranged in sections.
The "New" section provides a description of targets
newly identified or known but reported for the first time
by NPIC.
The "Change" section provides a description of pre-
viously reported installations showing a major change,
or those where an analysis of current photography furnishes
more precise information.
The "Order of Battle" section provides information on
targets where order of battle can be identified.
When there are no "New" or "Change" targets, or
order of battle information, the appropriate section is
omitted.
"New" and "change" targets are arranged 1) by country,
2) within the country according to subject, 3) within the
subject by WAC area, and 4) within the WAC area by geo-
graphic coordinates in ascending order. Order of battle
information is arranged 1) by subject, 2) within the subject
according to country, 3) within the country by WAC area,
and 4) within the WAC area by geographic coordinates
in ascending order.
The map base used (when available and applicable) for
the derivation of coordinates is the latest edition of the
US Air Target Chart, Series 200, or AMS Series L509
1:250,000 (China); or ONC; or AMS Series 1301, IMW
(Tibet, Western China).
The header line for each target contains, reading from
left to right, the target name, the geographic coordinates,
the World Aeronautical Chart number, the Bombing En-
cyclopedia (BE) number, and the NPIC target number.
The COMOR target number, when available, appears
above the photo reference data.
Photo reference data includes frame numbers and sym-
bols denoting limiting conditions, photo interpretability,
target coverage, and the mode.
Symbols for limiting conditions affecting photography
are C (Clear), SC (Scattered Cloud Cover), HC (Heavy
Cloud Cover), H (Haze), CS (Cloud Shadow), S (Snow),
O (Obliquity), SD (Semidarkness), GC (Ground Cover),
CF (Camouflage), and GR (Ground Resolution).
Interpretability of the photography is categorized as G
(Good), F (Fair), or P (Poor). Target coverage is denoted
by the symbols T (Total) or PT (Partial). The mode of
coverage is indicated by ST (Stereo), NS (Non-Stereo),
or PS (Partial Stereo).
When appropriate, an index follows "new" and "change"
targets and another follows order of battle information,
with targets in each index arranged alphabetically within
a country.
AAA defenses are divided into three categories: light
(ZPU-1, ZPU-2, ZPU-4, 37 mm), medium (57 mm, 85
mm), and heavy (100 mm and larger). The term HMGAA
(heavy machine gun antiaircraft) indicates a weapon smaller
than a ZPU-l. Where a category cannot be determined,
the site will be listed as an AAA site and the number of
guns indicated (example: 6-gun AAA site, occupied/
unoccupied).
