Douglas AC-47 'Spooky' Gunship Stainless Steel Tumbler

The Douglas AC-47 Gunship, affectionately known as 'Spooky', is a legendary aircraft that transformed the battlefield during its time. Originally a World War II transport plane, the C-47 Skytrain, it was brilliantly converted into a fearsome gunship for the Vietnam War. Armed with three side-firing miniguns, it could deliver devastating firepower, making it a nightmare for enemy troops. Operational from 1964 to the early 1980s with the U.S. Air Force and other countries, the AC-47 could loiter over targets for extended periods, providing unmatched support to ground forces. Its ability to lay down a continuous, precise curtain of fire earned it the nickname 'Puff the Magic Dragon'. The AC-47 set the stage for future aerial gunships, proving the concept's effectiveness and leaving a lasting legacy in military aviation history.
