Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong forum but I'm doing some research and I remember reading that Issan mechanics earned good money in the Vietnam War repairing planes on the US airbases in Issan. Does anyone remember how much they were earning per week?

Thanks in advance.

I dont know about the mechanics, but I do know a large number of Thais that were MP's were effectively given their citizenship and ability to work in the USA after the war, a number of these were employed as if they were in the US Army and paid accordingly, obviously a pay rate higher than they could dream to get in another role, so that it may have been the same for the mechanics
