US Air-to-Air Victories in the Vietnam War

Last revised: November 8 2005


Quite a bit has been written about aerial combat that took place during the United States' military involvement in Vietnam. This list attempts to bring information together from numerous sources, so as to provide an accounting of all air-to-air victories scored by American pilots. Aerial combat took place over North Vietnam, the People's Republic of China and Laos and victories scored over these countries appear on the list. We have tried to provide a full accounting, but this list is by no means complete. We welcome any information that others might be able to provide.

A note on sources. Information from the following sources was used to prepare this list:

...And Kill MiGs, by Lou Drendel, Squadron/Signal Publications, 1974/1997. A collection of American air-to-air combat accounts. This book also has lists of victories scored by USAF and USN pilots which form the basis for this web page.

Air War Over North Viet Nam; The Vietnamese People's Air Force 1949-1977, by Dr. Istvan Toperczer, Squadron/Signal Publications, 1998. A book prepared from information provided by the Vietnamese People's Air Force. In some cases this book admits to Vietnamese losses that were not officially credited to US pilots.

Clashes; Air Combat Over North Vietnam 1965-1972, by Marshall L. Michell III, Naval Institute Press, 1997. An excellent supplement to the above mentioned books.

One Day Too Long; Top Secret Site 85 and the Bombing of North Vietnam, by Timothy N. Castle, Columbia University Press, 1999. A good source of information concerning the events at Lima Site 85 on January 12, 1968.

North American F-100 Super Sabre, by David Anderton, Osprey, 1987. Contains information relative to action of April 4, 1965.
