An interactive map of Cary-linked mission targets, intended strike points, the Thayngen accident context, and the bases or route leads that shaped Bob's late-war path.
Markers use the best current public research summary. Many coordinates are target-area approximations based on the named town, bridge, rail yard, airfield, or island because the inspected mission reports do not yet provide modern latitude and longitude. The 1 January 1945 target is listed below but not plotted because the place name is still unreadable.

Mission Report 446 confirms Cary as co-pilot with Hartwell Davis in ship 94. The target is described as marshalling yards and a road bridge, but the exact place name is difficult to read in the current scan summary. This entry is intentionally not plotted until a clean crop or transcription identifies the location.
When the mission report names a target, the marker uses the named town, bridge area, rail-yard area, airfield, island, or defense area as the map point.
When the exact bridge, dump, or factory coordinate has not been confirmed, the marker notes that it is approximate and should not be treated as a bomb-impact coordinate.
Ambiguous entries stay labeled. The Singen marker shows the intended target; Thayngen is also plotted because part of the formation mistakenly bombed there, but Bob's ship 82 drop group remains unresolved.
