Are you asking a question about the South Vietnamese Air Force? If so, their records are most likely destroyed...South Vietnam was conquered by the North Vietnam approximately 35 years ago.

The former North Vietnamese Air Force has existing records, and most of theirs have already been published in English speaking books; such as Osprey's, Squadron Signal, etc. publishing companies. Two such books are titled, "MiG 17 & MiG 19 Units of the Vietnam War", and "MiG21 Units of the Vietnam War." Both are obviously North Vietnamese Air Force units, since the South Viet AF only flew A1 Skyraiders/T28 Trojans/and F5 Freedom Fighters (jets).

What is a surprising fact of Vietnam?

That UAV's by the hundreds were flown over North Vietnam during the war; and North Vietnamese Air Force MiG pilots shot some of them down for "Dog-fighting" (aerial combat) practice. One NVAF MiG pilot has officially petitioned his military records to reflect his shooting down of one of the UAV's as "an air to air victory", thus adding to his aerial kills making him an ACE during the Vietnam War (5 aerial victories minimum, is needed for ACE status).
