Among my interests is the history of WW2 in SE Asia and particularly Burma and Thailand.
The following article
http://www.j-aircraft.com/research/jan_forsgren/j-aircraft_royal_thai.htm
under the heading "The Bombers" para 7 and 10 makes reference to
"KOH KHA AB, LAMPANG"
Lampang is my second home and I know the area well, but for the life of me
no ones seems to know exactly where this Air Base was.
I have the RTSD 50,000 map number 4845 11 Amphoe Ko Kha edition 2534/1991 which shows no reference to the air base. More than likely the air base was not used much after the war and the land put to other use.
Can anyone help with a location of this wartime air base?
Thanks in advance.
