Chiba City ( Chiba-shi ) is in the middle.

Major Goldsworthy's B-29 crashed in the area to the left of Kamisu.

Next is a Google map with the Mission Target 357,
Musashino,
outlined in the upper left corner.

This is followed by a map with a close in view
of the location where the B-29 crashed at Tonosho.

A map from Army Map Series L506 follows.

At the left side is a blue square showing the location of Musashino.

To the right is a blue square of the area where the B-29 crashed.

The thin blue line connecting these two points is

This information comes from Missing Air Crew Report 10458 and
comments by three aircraft commanders in other B-29s.
