i do not know about ww1 ww2 But in Vietnam it was Never 1 to 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Aircraft losses of the Vietnam War) Burning American aircraft at Bien Hoa Air Base in 1965 During the Vietnam War, thousands of U.S. aircraft were lost to antiaircraft artillery (AAA), surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), and fighter interceptors (MiG)s. The great majority of U.S. combat losses in all areas of Southeast Asia were to AAA. The Royal Australian Air Force also flew combat and airlift missions in South Vietnam, as did the Republic of Vietnam.

In total, the United States military lost in Vietnam almost 10,000 aircraft, helicopters and 578 UAVs (554 over Vietnam and 24 over China).[1] There were about 11,835 helicopters that served in the Vietnam War.
