| The war in Vietnam saw the development of
gunships. The Douglas A-1H Skyraider was used to support
ground troops. Cargo planes were converted to attack
aircraft by the addition of guns. The Fairchild C-119
Flying Boxcar became the AC-119 Shadow and the Lockheed C-130
Hercules became the AC-130 Spectre. They were formidable
fighting machines. |
