At risk of it turning into 'Any Questions' you mentioned earlier
, I'm going to take a wild guess and say Hiroshima? The fact that it was never an allied base would imply that it was on Japanese soil and not on that of a nation that was occupied by the Japanese?

The fields look like they might be in Japan.
Didn't see jensdad's post before I posted.

It is in Japan. A long way from Hiroshima.
The three features in the image are still recognisable today - although the middle one is no longer an airfield. North is almost straight down.
edit to add: All three features were aircraft related.

Yes, the two highlighted are factories.
I've just asked for directions from Hiroshima station via GE and it's about an 850km drive to this location.
I was going to post an overhead from today, but maybe if I give you a few names it might help: Frank, Irving, Frances, Helen, Jill
edit to add: whereas for Nagoya, I would say Paul, Sonia, Edna, Dinah, Grace, Judy
