In the right column of the Consolidated Navigation Data
are coordinates for Land Fall, the Initial Point, and Lands End.

The Initial Point ( IP ) is where the bomb run started.

The Radar CounterMeasure (RCM ) Navigation chart
shows the route that the B-29s were to fly to and from the target.

This chart begins at Latitude 26 degrees North
( Saipan is at approximately 15 degress North ).

Aircraft stamps indicate the direction that the B-29s were to fly.

The second chart is a close in view of the target area along
with times of first and last aircraft that match
data in Consolidated Navigation Data.
