The largest Vietnam Veteran Photo Album created by Vietnam Veterans.
The Can Tho Photo Album was started with photographs graciously furnished
by Rick Stayner. Rick and I were members of the 550th Signal Company
at the Can Tho Airfield in 1972/73 and lived in the same hooch.
Can
Tho Airfield was located 100 miles southwest of Saigon, outside the
city of Can Tho in the then Phong Dinh Province and close to the
Bassac River in the Mekong Delta. (See
Maps page)
The Can Tho countryside was the largest population center in the canal
laced Mekong Delta. The surrounding countryside was
characterized by low-lying marshes, mangrove swamps, natural and
man-made canals and rice paddies. Can Tho Airfield, Dempsey
Compound, the Pink Palace, Jackson Hole, the Log House, Eakin Compound,
Binh Thuy and the Special Forces Compound were located in the Can Tho
area. Can Tho Airfield was built by the French and improved by
the Japanese in WWII. Can Tho was the center for US military
operations in the Mekong Delta, IV Corps Area.
