Hello. I wanted to clarify before sending you some links. Do you mean the C-130 Hercules or the AC-130 Spectre? Both are the same plane that served in Vietnam with the difference being that the AC-130 is the gunship variant. Let me know which one you're looking for and I'll send you some pictures.

There's a FINE book you could find from "Squadron" publishing that does an "Aircraft in Action" series.
However, I also found these sites with pics:
