be responsible for determining the classification (Restricted)
Confidential, or Secret) of the text, illustrative matter,
and other material.
C. The classification of the text will be marked on the cover
of each chapter.
D. The classification of the illustrative matter and other
material will be marked on the original'and duplicates.
E, Over-classification must be avoided. All material included
will be assigned the lowest classification consistent with
security.
2. Preparation of Text
A. Manuscript will be submitted in triplicate on 8 x 12?-inch
paper. The original will be on heavy paper and the dupli-
cates on heavy second sheets. Triple spacing, indentations,
and style as illustrated on the attached sample page will
be followed. (Note s Dave a full 1;,.v margin on right side and bottom of

(2) Figures are illustrative material (maps, charts, photo-
graphs, draw.ings,. etc.) bound in with text.
(3) Plans are illustrative material too large to be bound in
with text, i.e. that require folding in two directions to
come within JANIS proportions (10 x 13 5/8).
B. All illustrative material will be numbered consecutively in
each chapter in order of occurrence; and will include chapter
number, i.e, Table II-1, Table 11-2; Figure 11-1, Figure 11-2.
(Roman numerals refer to chapter; arabic, to illustration.)
C. All illustrative material will be captioned as per example

51. Weather and Operations
A. Air operations.
(1) Low-level bombing operations.
Weather conditions over the Jargon Islands are on the whole favorable
for low-level bombing operations. Ceiling, visibility, icing, and wind
conditions are unsatisfactory most of the time.. 12:24- 36
(a) Ceiling. Ceilings low enough to interfere with low-level
bombing are rare. Cloud types in the air mass associated with the trade
wind belt are cumulus which are ragged-looking as compared with the
sharply defined cumulus clouds occurring in the United States. (Figure V-16)
(b) Visibility. Horizontal visibility is generally good in
this area. Visibilities less than 21 miles occur during heavy rains.
The average number of days of heavy rain (low visibility) is shown on
Amphibious operations,

seasonally in the vicinity of the Jargon Islands. Details of sea and
swell are discussed in Chapter III, 32, A.
(2) Surface winds.
In general, from December through April, winds are northeast to
easterly. During the remainder of the year, Kinds are variable, but
tend to prevail; fr om south to southwest. (Figure V-4)
Land and sea breeze. There is a slight tendency for onshore winds
to be strengthened by day and offshore winds to be strengthened by
night. (Topic 52, D, 4)
