To get the Basic Air Defense Badge you need to be in a Stinger or AA vehicle for 5 minutes in 1 round.
The first time i tried to get it i was in for around 10 minutes, no badge. Second time i was in a stinger for way over 5 minutes. I have tried loads of times but with no luck. Am i doing anything wrong? And also just to check is a stinger the AA gun with two tubes?

You can actually get the Air Defense Badge and Ribbon by getting in an AA vehicle (ie Linebacker) and simply shooting infantry... kinda lame I know.. but it works..

I got my Air Defense Ribbon in a round where I was in an AA vehicle and didn't shoot one heli or plane down the whole round (no one was really flying...). I was simply taking out infantry, jeeps, tanks, other AA vehicles, etc.

Hit the eleven kill mark and *boom* "You have been recomended for an award..."

Dunno if this'll help, but the most effective stationery AA's are the ones on the Essex. Y'know when you see JohnDoe [USS Essex] JaneDoe. I got mine in that one.

just got on the AA vehicles *bradly, etc... you dont need to get air kills... neceseraly.. you can use it like a lav to kill ground targets.. that way you will get not only the badge but also the ribbon

It's the one that can lock any flying craft.  APCs do not target flying crafts.

No, the APC is not an AA vehicle.
Here's are a couple of samples of what AA vehicles look like:
