Vietnam War Airfield Codes

Thu Mar 25, 2021 5:00 pm

Does anyone have a list of three letter codes used for the various airfields and strips during the Vietnam war? My interest is primarily RAAF but I suspect the codes were issued by the US military. These codes appear to be unrelated to the handful of airfields that have ICAO/IATA codes.

Which ones do you have?

I have more than 70 three letter codes but there may be some duplications because of illegibility in 35SQN records. Some are obvious but most are not.

I had assumed that the codes originated from the US military but they are entirely unrelated to the V codes used by US forces.
