If anyone is interested, I now have over 1200 photos of old Taiwan posted in my photo gallery. The first link below goes to my site. The other links are kind of a “best of” collection to other Taiwan historical resources. I will keep the link collection updated on my site as time goes by.

An extensive collection of Vintage Formosa Postcards and Photographs
A while ago I think Cranky Lawai posted links to some websites from people that were stationed in Taiwan when the US Military was here. I recently dug through some of the photo galleries and found some interesting tidbits:
Another map is here: linkounavy.com/images/map2.jpg of their stomping grounds (North is South on both maps). It seems like the hangout was the Kings Hotel on the corner of Minchuan W. Rd and Chungshan N. Rd. (not really the zone) Now a bridal studio. The bus pickup to take the guys to the base in Shulinkou was across the street from the Kings Hotel. Several other pubs were right on Minchuan. There is a ShuLinkou NCO club photo, but not sure where that was. Must have been around that area somewhere? or maybe the MAAC area where the Minchuan stadium now is.
There is even a better collection of early '70s photo links at the bottom of this page. Also a good sat pic of where the base was located. There are too many good links to mention, you’ll have to dig through them yourself. Scroll down to the “dawg flight Photos” section.
