INTRODUCTION

This Air Target Folder consists of maps and photographs of 11 selected target areas in FORMOSA, exclusive of the TAKAO area (see CINCPAC-CINCPOA 139-44 for target information on the TAKAO area). The index map below shows the location of the 11 target areas, numbers 21 through 31. The pages may be removed from the publication, folded as indicated by the lines on the back of each page, and clipped or pasted into the standard chart board.

At the present time it is impossible to attempt to present maps which adequately cover all of the areas in which there are some targets of importance. Aerial mosaics and photographs have been included to supplement the available maps.

Because of the varying scales of the maps, no grids have been imposed on them.
