Best Answer

North Vietnamese Air Force pilot Tran Hanh, flying a MiG-17 with the 921st Fighter Regiment, has the first "confirmed" (matches US records) aerial victory when he shot down a USAF F-105 Thunderchief on 04 April 1965. On that same date, a US Air Force pilot has an official "probable air to air victory" against that same flight of MiGs.

What did American pilots get for shooting down a nazi pilot?

During WWII, if any pilot saw his buddies hanging in their parachutes being shot at by enemy aircraft, the chances are he will shoot down that enemy plane and kill the pilot hanging in his parachute in retribution. Since dogfight warfare was all about the numbers of shooting down aircraft, most pilots feel unconfortable about killing parachuting enemy pilots but that's not to say it didn't happen.
