The vertical aerial photographs forming this series appear to have been taken for general topographic study and/or mapping purposes by the United States Air Force. They include two surveys comprising of 272 and 16 photographs taken on 7 February 1967 and 14 March 1967 respectively. Photographs of the first survey are duplicated.  

Neither the photographs nor their containers are titled or otherwise marked to indicate which areas are depicted. Nevertheless, a
comparison of some photographs from these two surveys with those of the identified photographs in Series CRS A6830 suggests that they generally cover the Nui Dat - Baria area, and the area to the Northwest of Baria. However, due to the differences in aircraft positions and angles, the four year time gap between the two
series of photographs, and the similarity of much of the terrain in South Vietnam expert confirmation is essential for validation.  

The duplicated photographs from the February survey are stored in numerical sequence by sets in two boxes which probably held the photographic paper used to produce them, while the 16 photographs of the March survey were found in a large manila envelope. None of these containers show any marks to suggest their 'Australian' source, or the existence of other accumulations of such aerial photographs. It is however more than likely that further sets of aerial photographs will be located in Defence/Service establishments in due course.
