Typed Reference Page, 'Emergency Airfields,' Vietnam War Aircrew Flight Manual, Dated 15 July 1971

This typed page, dated 15 July 1971, is drawn from a Vietnam War-era aircrew flight reference manual listing emergency divert airfields across South Vietnam and neighboring Thailand. Bases such as Chu Lai, Pleiku, Nha Trang, and Nakhon Phanom are catalogued with navigation data, tower frequencies, and runway details, alongside fuel and climb planning notes for a missed approach. Such reference cards were essential tools for aircrews operating over Southeast Asia, including those flying the F-4 Phantom from bases like Da Nang. Project: 218454
