Re: Area position codes on the continent 1944
Dear Mikkel,
You can use this web site http://www.echodelta.net/mbs/eng-translator.php You follow the explainations to find the appropriate grid (and the appropriate square) and to find the good letter to add before the coordinates that are written in the MACRs. For example, L1660 in the MACR becomes vL1660 with the French Lambert Zone 2 grid. Good research, Olliball |

Dear Ross,
Thank you for the information. The USAF used the identical system during the SEA War 1960/70. I found this nomenclature describing coordinates for locations 12th TFW F-4C aircraft attacked. Always wondered how this system worked and now I know. Norman Malayney |
Re: Area position codes on the continent 1944

Re: Area position codes on the continent 1944
Hello,
Can someone please tell me the actual placenames and/or Lat-Long where the following two codes are in Italy ? Q-7196 and M-852162 Many thanks Alex |

Using the link provided in this thread you'll get http://www.mapquest.com/maps?l=44.01...11.14174673141 for the first code (wQ7196 / North Italy Zone). The second would translate into http://www.mapquest.com/maps?l=44.226185004227&g=12.562125123593 (its at sea) for this one (wM852162 / North Italy Zone), but I would not know if that is at all the case.

Re: Area position codes on the continent 1944
Hello Mikkel,
Many thanks for the swift and correct reply for both numbers. I never seem to be able to get the correct place and always end up with somewhere in the USA when I seek some place in Germany or Italy. Again many thanks. In the event these two numbers/places were not the one I seek, but were for an A36 and a B25, I seek a P38 further North in the San Lorenzo Di Sebato area. Thanks again Alex |
