Hi.

I'm cataloging a 1945 map that appears to have been produced in
Chungking by the 14th Air Force.

In the Ctry fixed field, do I code for China or for the United States?
The reason I ask is because I stumbled across this statement in the OCLC
documentation about the Ctry code:
Government publications. If a government publishes an item outside its
borders (e.g., the publication of an embassy), use the code for the
government involved.

It seems to me that this is produced by the US government (the US Air
Force) outside of its borders (in Chungking, not someplace in the US)...
 so therefore, I use xxu, not cc?

Thanks!
