Release time shows the time each B-29 released its bomb load.
This ranged from 1807 until 1915 hours.

Most of the B-29 released their bomb at an altitude between 6000-6800 feet.
A few were higher at 7-8000 feet.

In the second page Z-8 is the last aircraft on the list.

These pages are followed by two navigation maps from
Tactical Mission Report No. 43

The first map shows the track of each of the three Wings participating in
this mission, with a close-up view of the target area.

The second map concerns Air - Sea Rescue and shows
the locations of both aircraft and naval vessels.
