1 person found this helpfulDear Mr. Davies,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
The National Archives does not culminate that kind of information. We would only have it if the United States Marine Corps (USMC) or Navy provided it to us in a record. We have no bodies of records providing rankings for the number of missions flown or the number of combat kills by USMC pilots in Vietnam.
We suggest that you contact the Marine Corps History Division, the National Museum of the Marine Corps, the National Naval Aviation Museum, and the Marine Aviation Museum for assistance with this topic.
Also, according to multiple public sources, Randall Harold "Duke" Cunningham served in the U.S. Navy, not the U.S. Marine Corps.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
