This Mission Coverage Index (MCI) lists the intelligence
targets imaged on the photography of this mission. Items
in the MCI are arranged in three sections:
Section I provides short descriptions for newly identified
targets and previously reported targets showing change, and
also provides order of battle information.
Section II provides a listing of those targets which
reflect no apparent change in facilities from the most
adequate previous description. The MCI in which this
description appears is designated by the appropriate mission
number, prefixed by the letters "NAC" and appearing as the
last entry on the photo reference line. Military instal-
lations where there is no significant change in facilities
and where no order of battle can be determined are listed
under this section.
Section III provides a listing of those targets which could
be identified but not interpreted.
Targets in each of the three sections are arranged 1)
by country, 2) within the country according to subject, 3)
PREFACE
within the subject by WAC area, and 4) within the WAC
area by geographic coordinates in ascending order. An
explanation of column headings and photo references used
in presenting the information is contained in the appendix.
The map base used (when available) for the derivation of
coordinates in this MCI is the latest edition of the US
Air Target Chart, Series 200.
For the convenience of the user, an index to all tar-
gets is included following Section III. Targets in the
index are arranged alphabetically within a country.
The user of this MCI is cautioned that the scan of
photography was accomplished in a relatively short time
and often without the aid of precise analytical and men-
sural techniques commonly employed in detailed photo-
graphic analysis. Consequently, although the information
presented herein is essentially accurate, additional, de-
tailed analysis may somewhat alter portions of the
information.
