Bij elkaar toch wel even 14 F4’s en 10 F105’s alleen al door deze Aces

Lijkt wel of de US-bakken moesten het onderspit delven in de Vietnam-oorlog, dus ook bij luchtgevechten of Air-to-Air -verrast me toch-: 249 luchtgevechten verloren tegen 215 gewonnen. (zelfs in de Engelse Wiki  )

Although thirteen of North Vietnam's flying aces attained their status while flying the MiG-21 (cf. three in the MiG-17) many North Vietnamese pilots preferred the MiG-17 because the high wing loading of the MiG-21 made it relatively less maneuverable and the lighter framed canopy of the MiG-17 gave better visibility.[20] However, this is not the impression perceived by British author Roger Boniface when he interviewed Pham Ngoc Lan and ace Nguyễn Nhật Chiêu (who scored victories flying both MiG-17 and MiG-21). Pham Ngoc Lan told Boniface that "The MiG-21 was much faster, and it had two ATOLL missiles which were very accurate and reliable when fired between 1,000 and 1,200 yards."[21][verification needed], and Chiêu asserted that "...for me personally I preferred the MiG-21 because it was superior in all specifications in climb, speed and armament. The ATOLL missile was very accurate and I scored four kills with the ATOLL. [...] In general combat conditions I was always confident of a kill over a F-4 Phantom when flying a MiG-21."[22][verification needed]
Although the MiG-21 lacked the long-range radar, missiles, and heavy bombing payload of its contemporary multi-mission U.S. fighters, it proved a challenging adversary in the hands of experienced pilots, especially when used in high speed hit and run attacks under GCI control. MiG-21 intercepts of Republic F-105 Thunderchief strike groups were effective in downing US aircraft or forcing them to jettison their bomb loads.
After a million sorties and nearly 1,000 US aircraft losses, Operation Rolling Thunder came to an end on 1 November 1968.[23] A poor air-to-air combat loss-exchange ratios against the smaller, more agile enemy MiGs during the early part of the Vietnam War eventually led the USN to create their Navy Fighter Weapons School, also known as "Top Gun" at Miramar Naval Air Station on 3 March 1969.[24] The USAF quickly followed with their own version, titled the Dissimilar Air Combat Training (sometimes referred to as Red Flag) program.

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:
"Not confirmed" means the loss has been claimed by the North Vietnamese, but the loss does not appear in US records.
"Attributed to" means that the loss is attributed to a different cause than claimed by the North Vietnamese.
We believe that this list 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:
MIA and PoW accounting information available on the Internet.
Vietnam Air Losses, by Chris Hobson, Midland Publishing, 2001. Perhaps the ultimate source, but lacking US Army losses.

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.

* Opmerking: het lijntje van de eventuele co-piloot (F4) heb ik weggelaten voor te tellen (.xls)
Citaat:
The * F-4 Phantom is a *tandem-seat fighter-bomber designed as a carrier-based interceptor to fill the U.S. Navy's fleet defense fighter role. Innovations in the F-4 included an advanced pulse-doppler radar and extensive use of titanium in its airframe.[31]

Geen idee natuurlijk hoeveel piloten zich eventueel nog konden redden, maar de kans is natuurlijk veel groter bij een tandem-cockpit...
De US-bakken waren zeker niet helemaal kansloos tijdens de Vietnam-oorlog.
Nog een woordje over bvb de Mig-19 vs F4:
Citaat:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan...19#Vietnam_War
North Vietnam's Air Force used the MiG-19 much later in the air war than the MiG-17 and the MiG-21. MiG-19s, despite their limited numbers, were involved in extensive combat during Operations Linebacker 1 and Linebacker 2 (aka the Christmas Bombing). The NVAF claimed only seven victories over US aircraft, using the MiG-19, all of which were F-4 Phantom IIs.[4] Primarily because of the aircraft's twin engines, which created a maintenance nightmare, the MiG-19 was not favored by North Vietnamese pilots. While the MiG-17 had maneuverability and the MiG-21 had speed, the MiG-19 had a combination of both, but not to the same degree as the others.[citation needed] North Vietnam used the MiG-19 from 1969 until the 1980s when it was replaced by newer aircraft.
Compared to the F-4 Phantom II however, although lacking mounts for air-to-air missiles, it had the one advantage that the early model Phantoms did not have: it was armed with a cannon. Confirmed aerial victories by MiG-19s while assigned to the 925th FR, which match US records occurred on: 10 May 1972 in which two F-4 Phantoms were shot down by MiG-19s flown by Pham Hung Son and Nguyen Manh Tung. Both NVAF victories over the F-4s were accomplished by cannon fire.[5][6][7] Combat results of the 925th FR using MiG-19s, according to the North Vietnamese Air Force were: two F-4s on 8 May 1972; two F-4s on 10 May 1972; one F-4 on 18 May 1972; and two F-4s shot down on 23 May 1972;[4] these losses were in exchange for 10 MiG-19s lost in aerial combat with US jets. The MiG-19 did make history in one manner however; on 2 June 1972 over the skies of North Vietnam, the MiG-19 has the inauspicious honor of being the first recorded jet fighter[citation needed] to be shot down in aerial combat by cannon fire at supersonic speeds, by a USAF F-4 Phantom flown by Phil Handley.
