Scope and Contents
The collection consists of approximately one and a half linear feet of maps, aerial photographs, informational material about the country, and a Viet Cong banner donated to the archive by Leedom Lefferts who served in Vietnam (Bein Hoa) in the USAF from 1964-1965 as well as the summer of 1968 (Saigon). The majority of maps are 1:25,000 and are of the L8020 series. As well as topographic maps of Laos and Southeast Asia road maps accumulated by H.

They were produced by the USSR mapping service as a gift to the Lao Government. The Southeast Asia road maps were prepared by the U.S. Army Map Service and were obtained by Lefferts while he was serving as a USAF officer.
