1795 U.S. Turnkey Commissary Receipt. "1966. P-Unlisted. 5 Cents. Helmeted Woman on left. Handstamped in red ""OCT 21, 1966"". Note states ""Socely Redeemable by Turnkey Contract Employees and Air Force Personnel at Turnkey Commissary Facilities for Face Amount. Not Valid After August 30, 1967"". The Air Force, in February 1966, requested authority from the Secretary of Defense to make a separate contract with a U.S. firm for construction of an air base. Air Force officers detailed the scope of work but did note identify the site at meetings with potential contractors. The agreement they proposed to use was a ""turnkey"" contract whereby the contractor assumed responsibility for shipping and logistic requirements as well as for design and construction. On April 21st, after being directed to reconsider the situation by the joint Chiefs, General Westmoreland concluded that an additional airfield could be used. The preferred site was at Hue, but because this site was unavailable he recommended to Admiral Sharp that work start at Tuy Hoa. On 7 May 1966 Admiral Sharp approved the Tuy Hoa proposal but imposed certain conditions. The Air Force's turnkey contractor would be responsible for building the complete Tuy Hoa complex-air base, port and breakwaters - as well as for relocating roads and trackage. He would mobilize his own equipment, manpower, materials and dredges, using only such local resources as were surplus to other service requirements. He would also be responsible for his own sea lift, unloading, beaching and barging. In late May the Joint Chiefs of Staff gave the project their blessing and on the 27th of that month the Deputy Secretary of Defense authorized the Air Force to negotiate a turnkey contract for the Tuy Hoa air base. Tuy Hoa Air Base was one of several airbases built by the ""Red Horse"" Civil Engineer Squadron. Located on the coast, 285 miles northeast of Saigon under Project Turnkey. During the period of 1 August through 30 November 1966, a C-130 TDY from the Alaskan Air Command transported personnel and cargo. Aircraft landed on a 3500' runway at Tuy Hoa. Later, the base would have two all weather runways capable of handling most aircraft used in the war. The base flew C-130s and a variety of fighter aircraft. The first fighter aircraft assigned was the F-100 Super Saber. Private scrip note very closely related to MPC related note for use in Vietnam. Rare. SCBN." (Photo) 200-400
