I know that there were only two recipients of the Distinguished Flying Cross (perhaps just for the U.S Air Force?) in the Vietnam War. One of them being my grandfather, Albert Edward Worth Sr. ... It was awarded to him for his heroism during Operation Linebacker II in 1972. He served as a U.S Air Force NCO tail-gunner of a B-52D Stratofortress.
USAF personnel received USAF awards. Primarily pilots and aircrewmen.
There were 13 with three having been killed in action and one having died as a Prisoner of War.
There were many, many DFCs awarded in Vietnam. The Air Force, Navy, Army, in country pilots, all had several recipients of the DFC.
