The code name for Target 357 is ENKINDLE

The first document is a page from Field Order 51.

Below the Field Order is a Google map with the approximate location
where the B-29 flown by Lt Dustin crashed.

( Based on information from POW Research Network Japan )

Following this are three mission navigation maps.
The first is the Radar Counter Measure ( RCM ) map
with latitude and longitude easier to read.

In Page 3 is a teletype with subject:

REPORT ON LOST AIRCRAFT

Nine reports of aircraft going down were received.

Based on the coordinates of Ikuta ( 35.61 N 139.54 E ),
the closest sighting was at 36 00 N 139 40 E.

There is no way to be absolutely certain that this was the Dustin B-29
