    Notes: Wreckage from downed American aircraft on display in the Air Defence Museum, in Hanoi, Vietnam. The Phantom in the background crashed on May 14th, 1967, when during a strike on anti-aircraft defences near the Than Hoa bridge, both engines flamed out and could not be restarted. This was likely due to the ingestion of debris from the Zuni rockets fired moments before. The crew ejected and were taken prisoner.
