This is a good question, and it might be addressed on "flying ace" websites (especially in their discussion columns).
Backseaters (RIO-Radio Intercept Officers) riding in the two seater F4 Phantom IIs in Vietnam reportedly received a "kill" credit for "their" Phantom downing an enemy MiG in Vietnam.
There had been some controversey on UAV aerial kills in Vietnam (MiGs shooting down US "Firebee" drones (UAV's). Apparently some NVAF MiG Ace was claiming credit for "air kills" of US Firebees. Which brought up the question if WWII British pilots received "aerial victory" credit for shooting down a German V1 Buzz Bomb over Britain in 1940. The V-1 being an early version of today's UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). It appears that the majority of the writers/readers/historians were split on whether or not RIOs/Backseaters/UAV killers should be aces or not (or at least credited with an aerial victory).
