Production of the DC-3/C-47 finished in 1945, shortly after the end of World War 2. By this stage, a total of 10,926 aircraft had been built, 10,123 of which were for the military. Unlike many thousands of wartime aircraft, most surplus C-47s managed to escape being reduced to scrap metal with many being used for various commercial applications from passenger services to freight carrying and even crop dusting and top dressing. Still more remained on air force inventories and were used on a regular basis. Prior to their retirement from USAF service in 1975, the C-47 was again to gain fame, this time in the Vietnam War as the AC-47D "Spooky" gunship. Nicknamed "Puff the magic dragon" (after the song of the same name), the AC-47D was fitted with three 7.62mm MXU-470A gattling miniguns firing out of the side of the aircraft. The first 2 went into service in December 1964 with a total of 25 eventually being used. The AC-47D proved very effective, however combat duties began to take their toll on the aircraft so the survivors were phased out of service in 1969 and replaced with the Lockheed AC-130 Spectre gunship.
