RJ ::Dobar i sažet pregled
...I nepouzdan, mrsko mi provjeravati vecinu ovih stvari, ali zapeo mi je za oko ovaj podatak jer znam da sam vec negdje kacio neke price iz vjetnama i nigdje nisam vidio pet F4 srusena u jednom danu:
Znaci pricamo o: "68. June 1972 Air Battle"
Iako autor ovog bloga smatra da je ova bitka presucena, moze se na vise izvora jednostavnim ukucavanjem datuma provjeriti da to nije istina, jedni sto je on pobrkao i imena pilota i tip aviona i dodao jos jedan nepostojeci barem prema ovom navodu:
" North Vietnamese Aces
MiG-17 and MiG-21 pilots, Phantom and "Thud" Killers
By Diego Zampini, Nov. 2002. Updated March 22, 2012.
August 23 1967, 14:00. Another US raid against the capital of North Vietnam is in process.
Due to the size of the American formation (40 aircraft, including Thunderchiefs carrying bombs, F-105Fs ready to supress the SAM radars, and escorting Phantoms) the crew of one of those F-4Ds, Charles R. Tyler (pilot) and Ronald M. Sittner (WSO), of the 555th TFS/8th TFW, felt overconfident. They did not expect any MiGs, which had been inactive after several bloody defeats dealt them by the Phantoms of the 8th TFW in late May and early June.
Suddenly, Tyler heard on the radio an F-105D pilot (Elmo Baker) announcing that he had been hit by a MiG-21 and was ejecting. As Tyler looked for the unexpected bandit, a tremendous explosion shook his plane, and Tyler lost control of his aircraft, and bailed out. Hanging in his parachute he saw his F-4D falling in flames to the jungle, but he did not see his WSO eject; Sittner had been killed instantly by the missile hit. Both Tyler and Baker were captured by North Vietnamese troops as soon as they touched the ground.
Both had been shot down by R-3S Atoll missiles fired by two MiG-21PF Fishbeds of the 921st Fighter Regiment of the Quan Chung Khong Quan (Vietnamese People's Air Force, VPAF) flown by Nguyen Nhat Chieu and Nguyen Van Coc. Two more F-4Ds fell that day, without any MiGs lost, one of the VPAF's most successful days."
I jos ponesto se moze zakljuciti sa ovog linka npr:ROF (rules of engaingment) americkih pilota.
