LOCKHEED AC-130A SPECTRE (REGISTRATION: 56-0490)
The AC-130A gunship was attacking some trucks on the Ho Chi Minh Trail from an altitude of 7800 feet when it was hit by 37 mm AAA. Two crewmembers (Sgt Richard Williams & Sgt Carl E. Stevens) parachuted to safety as fuel began to leak and an explosion tore off the left wing.
