A 1987 edition of the U.S. Air Force navigation map designates the area around the Dokdo islets as part of the Korea Air Defense Identification Zone. That means Japan needs authorization from Korea's Defense Ministry to enter the zone. The designation is in accordance with the U.S. Pacific Air Force Command established in the early 1950s.
Experts say the significance of the finding lies in the fact that it has been practice in the international arena for over half a century.
