_________________________

The first map shows the location where Lt Hirose's fighter crashed.

It is also possible that this is close to where
Capt Samuelson's B-29 crashed.

In the terrain map that follows, the valley where the school
was located can barely be seen.

The arrow is pointing towards the Katsura River and the
Chua Line ( possible railroad )

A closer in view is in the map at the bottom of the page.
