Tadash Nagaki went on DUCK mission on August 17, 1945, to secure 1,400 Allied civilians imprisoned by the Imperial Japanese at Weihsien Compound, called by them the "Weishien Civilian Assembly Center," and referred to by the prisoners as Weihsien.
The Weihsien website has a lot of good material, of which here is a sample: Nagaki post-misison at Tsingtao ( = Qingdao), on the Yellow Sea in Shandong Province.
Weihsien was back inland about 80 miles, in the city of Weifang.
So DUCK had flown in their B-24 Liberators way to the east of OSS China HQ in Kunming, as Weifang is near the coast, south of Manchuria, west of Korea, and north of Shanghai.
