Puff was a C-47 with three (3) 7.62 mini guns fixed and pointing out of the
left hand side of the aircraft. They were aimed and fired by the pilot. He
would put the aircraft in a left turn and aim out of the left side window
in the cockpit. The three guns could spew out 18,000 round in just under a
minute (if I am not mistaken). It was a sight to behold in the dark!! It
was also very wicked sounding. I don't think they ever installed the Vulcan
(20mm) on Puff, but wouldn't that have been something!
