CHARLIE CHASERS tells the amazing story of the AC-119 “Shadow” gunships and the crews of the 71st Special Operations Squadron and the 17th Special Operations Squadron who wreaked havoc on the enemy during the Vietnam War. The fixed-wing aircraft provided close-fire support to U.S. and friendly troops with the ability to fire up to 6,000 rounds per minute delivered with deadly accuracy. Ground troops came to rely on the AC-119 as dependable aerial defenders of fire support bases, air bases, Special Forces camps, villages, hamlets, and remote outposts.
