  • not true, backseaters got credited for the kill too. I think that one of richie's GIBs (guy in the back), has the most US kills - charles debellevue - six of them. When F-4 crew shot a mig down, both of the crew got credited for the kill

  • Randy Cunningham was the first ace in Vietnam.

    USN

    Steve Ritichie was first and probably only USAF ace in Vietnam.

    Capt. Richard S. "Steve" Ritchie, USAF, 5 Kills, the first and only USAF Pilot Ace of the Vietnam War.

  • No credit to you for not fixing your mistake "the only ace of the Vietnam War" after being advised of it. You are disrespecting Randy Cunningham.

  • Steve run for office and fix some things could you ? Help us out buddy.

  • Your video information says: "Ritchie is the only ace of the Vietnam War." But what is with Randy 'Duke' Cunningham?
