Question about a base called CCK

[burcham8]

Guys,

What would have been a Vietnam-era USAF base abbreviated CCK?

I think this is your match: Ching Chuan Kang AB, Taiwan.

For anyone with a real interest in the role of Tactical Airlift in Southeast Asia there is an excellent source available.

"Tactical Airlift: The United States Air Force in Southeast Asia" by Ray L. Bowers
It is published by the Air Force History and Museums Program.

This book covers the period of 1946 to 1975. It is 899 pages.

At one time this book was free to all retired airforce personnel. Since I only served one 4 year enlistment, I got my brother who is retired Air Force to get a copy for me. I imagine it is available through inter-library loan.

Peace+

BTW - an excellent general reference is The C-Plane by Bill Holder and Scott Vadnais: Schiffer Military/Aviation History, Attglen, PA
