Tsuyung Airfield
Tsuyung Airfield is a former World War II United States Army Air Forces airfield in China, located east of Chuxiong City in the People’s Republic of China.History
The airfield was a major transport hub on the China end of "the Hump" air transport route over the Himalayan Mountains, from the Assam Valley in India. The base was host to both Air Transport Command units, then Fourteenth Air Force Troop Carrier squadrons which moved the equipment and supplies to forward airfields in China. After the end of the war in September 1945, the Americans closed their facilities at the airfield and the airfield appears to have been dismantled. Today the land appears to be part of the industrial area of Chuxiong City with little or no remnants of its wartime past.
