Glad you like the map Drew, can't do anything about Hueys though I'm afraid. Why don't you get yourself over to SAS and download the Skyraider, not a Huey, but much more fun me thinks. :roll:

Thanks very much for the info akdavis, looks like I'm going to have to alter my roads following your discriptions and seeing this picture. Do you have a link to where these photographs are or do they have to be viewed in person, say in a museum collection? As of yet I've done virtually no research into how Vietnam looked during the period the map is intended for, finding good photographs would help considerably when I actually start to populate the map. Have you come across any photographs of the airfields yet? These must feature somewhere in actual intel from the period and it is information I could really do with. My searches so far have'nt turned up anything other than map references to where they once were.

The pic is from the National Archives, but most are 14th AF strike photos from northern Vietnam and many are taken at very low level. Here is one from a strike on the rail bridge at Hue giving a wider view:



There is also a pretty good set of 5th AF high-level pics of Saigon, including port facilities. Also useful might be some documents from the Strategic Bombing Survey that include lower quality pics, but often labelled and accompanied by maps.
