There were a lot more than 30 airfields used by the US Air Force in Australia during WW2.

 

Over 300 new airfields were built in Australia during WW2, and the U.S. Air Force used them all in varying amounts.

 

The history of the RAAF Airfield Construction Squadrons - "Always First", is a worthy read, to see just what these hard-working blokes achieved.

Thanks. I think the 30 were classified as actual USAAF airfields, their main bases, or something like that. Cheers.
