The NVAF was quite outnumbered. They only had one air force that never exceeded 200 jets at any one time. And it contained only 3 types of jets: MiG17s, MiG19s (actually J6s), and MiG21s.
The US on the other hand had 3 jet air forces: USAF, USN, and the USMC aviation units. The USA had no jets, only helicopters and some propeller driven aircraft. In addition the USMC jets restricted their attacks to only South Vietnam supporting their ground units (as this was their mission). So this left two jet air forces to tangle with North Vietnam's Air Force. But, the NVAFs MiG17s, 19s, and 21s had to tangle with USAF/USN A1s, A4s, A6, A7s, F100s, F101s, F102s, F104s, F105s, F4s, F8s, and the tail gunners of SACs B52s (which shot down two NVAF MiG21s in 1972). So even though the US lost more jets in the conflict, the US dominated the air war.
