Vietnam Air Losses: USAF, Navy, and Marine Corps Fixed-Wing Aircraft Losses in SE Asia 1961-1973
by Christopher Hobson and Chris Hobson

Very detailed. What to me was most interesting is the single rarest US fighter lost in Vietnam, what for it, a Cougar. A TF9J Cougar, USMC. I believe it went down on Dec 25, 1967. The two aviators ejected and were picked up. I think it was operating like a Misty or Wild Weasel operation.
