US air combat claims of the Vietnam war

Has someone ever matched up the US air combat claims vs known VPAF losses during the Vietnam War?

Re: US air combat claims of the Vietnam war

Thanks I see about getting the book. Is there a online listing of US victory claims of the Vietnam war?

Hi James. This is Jan's list (US Air Force only) and another including USN-USMC; can't vouch for WIKI though.

Re: US air combat claims of the Vietnam war

James you can double-check all MIG claims in Study 146 (starting p.118); mostly F-4 / F-105.
