Tsuyung Airfield (楚雄机场) is a former World War II United States Army Air Forces airfield from 1941 to 1945 in Chuxiong County, Yunnan Province, China.
There was a separate Old Tsuyung Airfield built in 1928, which was replaced by the new Tsuyung Airfield which started construction in October 1938 to deal with the increasing demand of "the Hump".
[1][2] 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.
