How many deaths were there in the Vietnam War due to the napalm bomb?

Historians prefer to use the term INCENDIARY devices or INCENDIARY bombs; Especially when referring to WW2 in Europe. Napalm bombs/devices are INCENDIARY bombs, but contain another category of chemicals in them such as "Naphthenic & Palmitic" chemicals. During WW2, cities such as Dresden and Tokyo were struck heavily with INCENDIARY devices. Casualty figures are not reliable, but are documented for those cities. Data is also available for the Korean War (1950-1953). Due to the sensitivity of the Vietnam War, casualty figures on the INCENDIARY bombs used in the Vietnam War, commonly referred to as "Napalm Bombs", are not commonly available.
