1968 era aircraft

Here's an aviation message board that discusses this topic. It looks like 707's and DC-8's were used. Looks like a good discussion here:

In 1963 we were on a World Airways charter from Travis AFB to Tachikawa AFB by way of Elmendorf AFB in Alaska. It was a typical commercial airliner. In 1965 we were on another one from Tachikawa to Travis by way of Honolulu. My recollection is that they were configured just like any commercial flight. I don't remember those specific bathrooms, but on any airliner I have ever been on they are small. Small. I'm thinking maybe 4'X4'.

I'm looking for a civilian (commercial) aircraft that was used to take troops to Viet Nam from Alaska. Landed frequently in Camh Ranh Bay and was able to carry at least 40 passengers.

I was flown on July 4, 1969, from Ft. Lewis, Washington to Cam Ranh Bay in a chartered commercial airliner, which may have been a 707 (I don't remember the specific plane). It was filled with Army troops just like me. Standard passenger plane.
