Notes
  • Significance: Northwest Field is significant under criteria A at a national level for events during World War II that aided in the defeat of Japan and the ending of the war. The property's significance is tied to its dedicated use for night missions against the Japanese oil industry, for its having the only bombers especially equipped with the AN/APQ-7 "Eagle" radar, for the 315th Bomb Wing development of the "compressibility" procedure, and for its planes flying the last bombing mission against Japan.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N1092
  • Survey number: HAER GU-5
