Over 40,000 men flew helicopters during the Viet War. That's all services, but only counts the United States. That doesn't count the enemy (they had them, they sunk US Navy Swift Boat #19 (PCF-19) with one), doesn't count the allies (Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, South Vietnam, etc.); and it doesn't count the helicopter crewmen (door gunners, etc.). Contact the Vietnam War Helicopter Associations, they might be able to help...but they might only have what most associations have; lists of the dead, wounded, or decorated.

∙ 15y agoThere were thousands upon thousands of US pilots and aircrewmen flying missions during the Vietnam War. As there were during WW2 & the Korean War. The most common method of listing Airmen's names for fighting in those wars, and are normally listed in history books, is when they've either been shot down or shot down enemy airplanes. The most comprehensive book will probably be: "Vietnam Air Losses: USAF, Navy, and Marine Corps Fixed-Wing Aircraft Losses in Southeast Asia 1961-1973." By Chris Hobson (2002). ISBN 1-85780-1156. Note-That Hobson's book does NOT contain US Army fixed-wing aircraft that flew combat missions in Vietnam: 0-1 Bird Dog and the Mohawk. Also note that Helicopters (Rotor-Wing Aircraft) will NOT be listed. Although not listing ALL US Airmen flying missions in Vietnam, these few extra titles might prove helpful: 1. "Journey Into Darkness", By Col Philip E. Smith & Peggy Herz (1992); the story of a USAF F-104 Starfighter pilot shot down during an engagement with a Red Chinese MIG-19 (J-6 version); while on a mission over the North Vietnamese coastline. 2. "...And Kill Migs"; a short collection of US MiG killers in Vietnam. 3. "F-8 Crusader Units of the Vietnam War." Osprey, Combat Aircraft #7; ISBN 1-85532-724-4. 4. "MiG-17 and MiG-19 Units of the Vietnam War." Osprey, Combat Aircraft #25; ISBN 1-84176-162-1. Although this is a book on enemy air units; some US Airmen & their aircraft are listed in the data section of the book.

Where is a list of the names of the US soldiers who died in Vietnam?
For US Soldiers probably not; and neither for US Marines, Sailors, Coast Guardsmen, and Airmen that served in country. That would be well over 2 million names. Most likely, the closest way to obtain a list would be to obain Shelby's book titled, "Vietnam Order of Battle." That book lists all US Army units in Vietnam, and possibly the USMC, USAF, USN, and USCG units in Vietnam. THEN each unit's "Association" on the website would have to be contacted to obtain the men's names that served in those units in Vietnam; THEN ADDED UP (compiled). This way, the list of 2 1/2 million names could be reduced to several thousand names in unit increments. 1. To date, one man (Shelby) has compliled all of the units that fought in Vietnam. 2. One man (Hobson) has compiled all of the fixed-wing (jets and airplanes-NOT HELICOPTERS) aircraft that were lost in Vietnam, nearly 3,000 of them; by type, serial number, date of loss, pilot's name, reason for loss (SAM-Missile, Anti-Aircraft Artillery, Cannon Fire, MIG-Air to Air Missile, Operational, etc.), and branch of service. 3. One man has compiled the names of all of the US Firebases and Warships that fought in Vietnam. 4. And the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall has compiled the names of all of the Vietnam War dead.
