The Vietnam War's GREATEST air rivalry

During the Vietnam War, the skies over Southeast Asia became a fierce battleground for air superiority, with two iconic aircraft at the forefront: the MiG-21 and the F-4 Phantom II. The battles between these two aircraft types were not just about technology but also about pilot skill and tactics, making them some of the most memorable dogfights in aviation history. Christoph Bergs from Military Aviation History joins us at IWM Duxford to take a closer look at these two famous aircraft and explore which came out on top.

Had the US not had the restrictions placed on them the North Vietnamese wouldn't have been able to build up the SAM sites and our bobbing stragedy would have been radically different.
