Hello All,

Does anyone have a link or information about finding a copy of the U.S. Navy "Alt Report"? This report was completed by CAPT Alt during the Viet Nam war and concerns the lack of success in fighting MIGS. I'm looking for a complete copy of the report.

Here is a excerpt from US Navy F-4 Phantom II MiG Killers 1965–70

As Capt Frank Ault, former Commanding Officer of USS Coral Sea (CVA-43), and the person responsible for the now famous ‘Ault Report’, commented in the early 1970s, ‘During my Tonkin Gulf tour in Coral Sea, air combat kills rose to about eight per cent of US combat losses, from a 1966 figure of three per cent. By 1968, this figure had reached 23 per cent. The numbers were worse than they appeared because we were losing two people and a four-million-dollar aircraft with every Phantom II shot down, versus a million-dollar, single pilot MiG.
