Two of the four maps on this page are from the
XXI Bomber Command Tactical Mission Report that can be found at Rich Cookson's
Mission to Albuquerque
web site.

The first of these shows the navigation route for the three Wings
( 73rd, 313th, and 314th )
that participated in this mission.

Next is the map showing locations of the various Air Sea Rescue units.

An Orientation Map of the Kobe Osaka area is the third map and
the fourth is titled Damage to Kobe that has been edited to show
the approximate location where Mission to Albuquerque ( Z-8 ) crashed.
