US Air-to-Air Losses in the Vietnam War

Last revised: June 9 2002


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 losses of American aircraft. Some information on this list is controversial, as it is in disagreement with US DoD claims (no B-52s were downed in air-air action, etc.). After considering the validity of the sources involved, all claims made by reputable parties have been included.

Two notes:

We believe that this list is by no means complete. We welcome and information that others might be able to provide.

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