The Gunship: Side-Firing Power, Night Sensors, and the Aircraft Built to Circle the Battlefield - Couverture souple
Synopsis
From the first AC-47 Spooky missions over Vietnam to the modern AC-130 Ghostrider, the fixed-wing gunship has remained one of the most unusual aircraft in military aviation history. Built from transport aircraft and armed to fire from the side while circling the battlefield, gunships brought together endurance, night sensors, heavy weapons, crew coordination, close air support, and moral responsibility in a form unlike fighters, bombers, helicopters, artillery, or drones.
The Gunship: Side-Firing Power, Night Sensors, and the Aircraft Built to Circle the Battlefield tells the story of how aircraft such as the AC-47, AC-119, and AC-130 became central to night warfare, base defence, special operations, convoy protection, and troops-in-contact support. Written in clear, plain English, this book explains the logic of side-firing weapons, the importance of sensors and fire control, the Vietnam origins of Spooky, Shadow, Stinger, and Spectre, and the gunship’s later roles in the Gulf War, Somalia, the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq, and modern precision-support operations.
Balanced, accessible, and morally serious, this is not a celebration of firepower for its own sake. It is a history of aircraft built to stay overhead when ground forces needed help most—and of the crews, risks, losses, technology, and responsibilities behind the circle in the sky.
