Code names for usaaf airfields phiilippines and south pacific 1945
 
GOOD DAY TO ALL

Trying to locate a listing of CODE NAMES given to USAAF airfields in the Philippines in 1945 to include going down to Biak New Guinea. in my research on the Mexican pilots, doing transport flights from P.I. to Biak and back, a number had code names listed in the Individual flight records USAAF Form 5 so, I am trying to locate the following airfields with the code names.

CHICKY
ARCENIC
LETUCCE
GOREE
GOTEE o GOTEE
MAMA
RIPPER
CRIPER o CRIPPER
BLUMER
VISTA

Any help or reference would be most welcomed

VISTA was the name of the tower on San Jose Airfield, search for vista on the page:

https://pacificwrecks.com/airfields/...ose/index.html

GOATEE ( Lingayen Airfield): https://pacificwrecks.com/airfields/...yen/index.html

Possible misspellings on some of them:

Arsenic
Lettuce
Goatee (see above)

Ripper, Criper, Cripper probably all the same field
