SECTION 6

SELECTED COMBAT LOSS DATA

LOSSES BY WEAPON CAUSING LOSS VERSUS ALTITUDE

In this section, data selectively drawn from the microfiche is arranged to facilitate examination by service, aircraft type, weapon causing loss, altitude when hit, and country where hit. There exists in the tabulation a bias towards lower caliber weapons. For example, unknown ground fire (UNK GF) is tabulated as small arms or automatic weapons (SA/ AW), when (especially in NVN or at altitudes above 3,000 or 4,000 feet) the actual weapon may have been AAA. This bias makes SAl AW appear more effective than they actually were.

UNK is used to record those losses for which the weapon was reported as unknown, whereas OTHER (in specific aircraft tabulations) is used for those losses which resulted from self- inflicted damage, such as flying through target debris or premature bomb/missile detonations. The UNK columns and lines may constitute large portions of the data.

Losses or incidents of damage at altitudes over 15,000 feet have been grouped for convenience in tabulation.

Aircraft hit over other than NVN, SVN, or Laos include those assumed hit over China and the South China Sea.

The mission functions are those defined by table 5- 2.
