"PW" painted on the roofs over a Prisoner of War (POW) camp. This may be a mission to supply allied prisoners of war from the air just after the conclusion of World War II in the Pacific.

This photo ran in the Illustrated London News for February 27, 1915 with the caption: SHOWING, IN THE FOREGROUND THE RUSSIAN CHAPEL THE PRISON LAID OUT BY THE GERMANS AT GUBEN. Elsewhere on the page it says that Guben is in Prussia, some 28 miles from Frankfurt. books.google.com/books?id=6Fk4AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA278&l...

According to www.guben.de/stadt/ortsteile/st_ot_breesen3.html (in German), the camp was in Guben Gross Breesen near the Neisse river (around here: goo.gl/maps/R1BMNVJuXd72) A description of the camp is in www.lr-online.de/regionen/spree-neisse/guben/Historiker-A... and in www.lr-online.de/regionen/spree-neisse/guben/Von-Masuren-... (in German) The camp existed from September 1914 until 1921. It hosted 10000 - 15000 prisoners, mostly Russians.

Thank you Art Siegel and B-59 for the additional information about the the prisoner of war camp in Gruben and for the matching photograph in the Illustrated London News. We will add more details and a better date when we update the description.
