Beside the air defence force, which was known as one of the best in the world, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam owned a very respectable Air Force, with MiGs jet fighter. VPAF got pretty good combat ratio in comparison with the USAF and US Naval Aviation. During the war, VPAF had 16 aces when US had just 2.
I colorized some B&W footage from QPVN and the YouTube channel "Minh Hoang" and use in this video, so thanks for their footage.
