This Mission Coverage Index (MCI) furnishes a compilation of intelligence
targets covered by this mission. Items in the compilation are arranged in three
sections:
Section I provides summary information for a) newly identified targets,
b) previously reported targets which show a change, and c)
all targets showing order of battle information.
Section II provides a listing of those targets which reflect no change in
facilities from previous target description. The mission number
shown on the photo reference line (e.g., NAC 9000) refers to
the MCI which contains the most adequate description of that
target. Military installations 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.
All three sections are arranged 1) by country, 2) within a country by subject,
3) within a subject by WAC area, and 4) within a WAC area by coordinates reading
from south to north and from west to east. The map base used (when available) for
the derivation of coordinates in this report is the latest edition of the US Air Target
Chart, Series 200.
For the convenience of the user, a subject index to all targets has been in-
cluded following Section III. Targets in the subject index are listed 1) by cate-
gory, 2) by country within each category, and 3) alphabetically by place name
within each country. An explanation of column headings and photo reference
data used in presenting the information is contained in the appendix.

The user of this MCI is cautioned that the scan of photography was ac-
complished in a relatively short time and often without the aid of precise ana-
lytical and mensural techniques commonly employed in detailed photographic
analysis. Consequently, although the information presented herein is essen-
tially accurate, additional, detailed analysis may somewhat alter portions of
the information.
