If you can't track down your actual flight records, you might be able to make a case based on your squadron's location and typical missions.

Your service records should show where you based (Thailand, PI, or Guam?)

You could probably find records showing that your squadron was tasked with supporting operations in vietnam, and did so extensively.

Also, your pay records might show hazardous duty/combat zone pay or per diem for overnights. If you don't have them, it might be easier to obtain your pay records from DFAS than to try to track down your flight logs.


If that doesn't work, check with a lawyer.
