Below are three orientation maps.

Within Lt Edman's IDPF, the 73rd Bomb Wing Mission Report,
and the Missing Air Crew Report there are no coordinates stating where A-28 went down.

First map shows the planned track from landfall to the target and then exit.
The numbers are the attacks by enemy aircraft.

The second Google map shows the approximate track ( dashed lines )
in the first map along with the location of the Initial Point (IP) at Kofu.

The third map is from the Perry Castaneda Collection at the University of Texas.
This is from US Army Series L506.



Throughout the documents in Lt Edman's IDPF there are
differences in spelling of the location where the B-29 crashed.

Cirlced in the third map are Kofu, Mount Fuji, and Fujinomiya.
I will use the location from the report by
POW Research Network Japan that is in Page 3 -
Fujinomiya.
