Re: USAF air to air losses during 'Linebacker I'

The single F-105G was downed on 11 May 72 (62-4224, 17 WWS, 388 TFW), crew Maj William Talley and Maj James Padgett, both POW.
Distracted by SAMs and shot down by Mig-21.

The two F-4s that were lost in the strike elements were 66-7636 on 24 Jun72 and 66-8738 on 5 Oct 72.

The "indirect" F-105G (own Sidewinder exploded a bit too soon..) was on 29 Jul 72 (62-4443, 17 WWS, 388 TFW). Both crew survived (Maj Coady and Maj Murphy).

Regards,

Leendert
