1, The Mtmon Airfield, 05038N-1441 was known until 1950 as Kummer Airfield and was
cm=nly called Hradcany Airfield, It was located approximately four kilometers
southeast of Mimony 130-200 m, west of the Kurivody-Mimon highway, There were two
highways leading to the airfields the JAo y-Mimon highway and the Ymiohovo Hradiete-
Mimon highway ZAnnex A. Points 14 and IA 7. The airfield was an irregular pentagon
with an overall length from the northeast corner to the southeast corner of approxii
mately five kilometers; the width of the ai- ield at its widest oint was three to
four kilometers. There were four runways Max B, Points - IJ but there were
parts of two runways that I could not see annex B. Point , There was no control
tower at this airfields instead, flares were used for landings and toe-offs of
aircraft. A red flare indicated that the aircraft was not to land; green indicated
that the aircraft was cleared to land. I also saw yellow flares but do not know;
what they indicated. The field was used the year round. Snow was removed by snow-
plows mounted on military trucks. The runways and aprons in front of the hangars
were kept clear of snow at all times. There were no obstructions at or near the ftal~
2. Fuel was transported to Mimon Airfield by trucks from Hvezdov. There were two 2j-
ton fuel, trucks at this field to refuel the aircraft (type Praga RAN military trucks) j
These trucks were parked near the hangars daily. The water used by this field was
supplied by the nearby lakes, Food for the military personnel stationed at this
field was transported by truck daily from the nearby military area.

3. There were signs of large scale construction act v t on the south-
ern portion of the field rAnnex- ' B, Point 77,
There were large mounds o dirt visible over this section of the
airfield. I observed large military trucks (10-ton dump true*e)
hauling cement, crushed rock, and said to this sector of the field.
A truck loaded with construction material would enter the airfield
every fifteen. minutes. There were about 360 soldier chauffeurs and
their assistants that operated 180 military Tatra type-111 dump
trucks. They worked seven days a week. I also observed bulldozers,
cement mixers, and other miscellaneous construction equipment. There
Were two'large labor battalions working on this construction. One
of these battalions was composed of 600 priests and the other of
political unreliables. They were drafted into the army and wore
regular Czech green infantry uniforms with black epaulets without
any insignia on them. These battalions were called' the Auxiliary
Technical Battaliono(Pomocny Technicky Prapor). The labor battalions
were transported to the airfield daily by military'trucks. They
were quartered approximately seven to eight kilometers east of the
airfield at Hvezdov Z .A nax A, Point 127. The Posista Construc-
,tion Company of Prague, using approximately 600 civilian employees,
worked at this-airfield. The number of workers was altogether ap.-
proximately 1,500. I believe that underground construction wa.s
taking place because of the small number of employees seen on the
airfield. There were two Russian engineers working-at the airfield.
25X1 During I observed military personnel from the
city cif mon cutting down large sections of trees on Raisko Hill,
Z' Amex A,. Point 17,, forming a large opening. I heard from the
residents of Minion that this hill was now a restricted area. I be-
lieve that this hill was to be.a site for some kind of electronic 25X1
equipment, but i know nothing further about this. I observed'a well-
edva4oad construction on Kacov Hill I . There were four
large steel towers, approximately 30 meters high,'and abuilding.
I cannot describe the building. This construction site was located
slightly below the top of the hill ori?the.south side. I believe'
that this will be a transmitting station, but I know nothing further
about it.

Uniform
The uniform worn-by the Czech AF personnel consisted of a gray-blue
summer field uniform referred to as type 21 and type 22. The type
21 blouse could be worn either open at the collar or fastened as a
choke collar, and buttoned down the front. This uniform was identi-
cal for both officers and EM except that the EM were required to tuck
the mra-i2. see kix x or
Memory Sketch of MIG-12 aircraf .and G-15 and a few particulars
were mentioned. The instructor told the students that the MICA-12, 25X1
was basically of the same design as the MI.G-15 but contained'a,few
modifications arid differences and was alleged to be a newer,model,..
The instructor stated that the-MIG-12 had two jet engines, two air
scoops, the fuselage was wider, and that it would fly higher and
faster than the, MIG-15.'
The southeast portion of the airfield was initially' used as a para-
trooper base in 1947 and 1948, and I think that ' the' airfield was
still being used for this purpose.

and wear the leather belt with buckle over the blouse. The winter
uniform was identical except that the material was. heavier. The
dress uniform was the same color as the field uniform. The shoulder
boards on this uniform varied for noncombat.-and combat personnel.
All noncombat personnel wore a shoulder board with a silver back-
ground and gold branch and rank insignia. The shoulder boards for
combat and political officers consisted of a gold background and
silver insignia. The officer's dress trousers had a light blue 25X1X',
stripe, two. millimeters wide, along the outer seams. Enlisted men
wore the same uniform except that they wore no stripe on the trou-
sers and ware different shoulder boards. ,See Anaex G for 0

Defense Installations
7. There was an antiaircraft unit (I cannot identify it) located ap-
proximately four kilometers southeast of the airfield [' Annear. A,
Point i7. I saw approximately four AA guns, mounted on four-wheel
carriages with pneumatic tires, 10-20 m. from the woods. The dis-25X1X
tance between each `gun was about 200 m.

Security
8. The security at this base and throughout the military area was very
strict. All soldiers and civilians were required to have a special
pass:
to enter the airfield; I do not know the type of'pass. At the
entrance were stationed two paratrooper guards armed with:sub-mach-
ine ' guns, type .?23, CZ . ~` Ar,-;.ex B, Point 21 and 22 They also had
heavy machine guns at tFiese two points, but I do not know what type
of machine guns., Large portable searchlights (I do not know their
power) were placed at various points.on the airfield and additional
guards were used at night. One searchlight was generally placed at
each of the fallowing points: one was usually placed in front of
the, hangar,- krr,. x B, Point i7. The second was usually placed
on the.southern section of the airfield T Annex B Point 7
The third was usually placed on or near the. runway 'Annex '1,
Point .3 317, These locations were frequently changed. Located at
each searchlight position was a heavy machine gun. Each position
consisted of a searchlight operator armed with a submachine'gun and
a' 'gunner. These searchlights were turned on and off at in 'requent
"intervals and'turned in different directions. Two'or three para-
trooper guards armed with submachine guns walked along the {urivody
to Mim6n highway bordering the airfield day and night. Check?-points
were located approximately 100 m. north of Dolni Krupa and lob rn.~ ''
south of Plouznice. Cars were stopped at these points by paratr.goper
guards'armed with CZ type-23 submachine guns. A railroad-type bar-
rier gate was used at these points, halting all civilian traffic.
The civilians were given a warning not to stop their'vehiclesalong
this road. The driver of the vehicle was ordered to maintain a speed
of 6016a. per hour on this stretch of road, which was approximately
20 km. long. The sentry recorded the type of vehicle, color, regis-
tratic?n number, number. of passengers., time of departure, and ETA at
the other point.' The sentry would ten call the other checkpoint by
telephone, and give them the pertinent data. if this check point was
not reached in a specified time, a thorough search of the car 'was
made, a written report submitted and the driver would later be fined
500'crowns, Walking or riding bicycles was prohibited bh'this sec-
tion'of the roa'. I observed signs posted at roads branching off
the highway which read "Military Area: Entrancae, Strictly, -Pvohlbited"
(Vojensky Prvstor; Vetup Prisne Zakazan). During maneuver seapan.s
the highway was open for civilian traffic only during,the following
hours: 6o0'0700.. 1100-1400, and 1900-2000 hours. The highway from
Bela to Kurivody also had restrictions but:!I know.no particulars.
