Search for crash site of Arnold, Keating, White, and Smith

After a day of search and verification, the crash site was finally confirmed at coordinates 30 20.654 N 116 53.688 E, which is about 14 miles from Anqing city (listed as "Anking" in war-era documentation). Note that this location much more closely matches the estimated distance from Anqing, at 12 miles, given in the accounts by the crew of the second B-25 that day. The estimated coordinates they provided, 30 10 N 116 50 E, are much too far, at about 26.5 miles from Anqing.
