Product Description

An unusual looking aircraft at first sight, the A-10 Thunderbolt evolved from the U.S. Air Force's need for an aircraft that could fly low, carry an extraordinary amount of ordnance, have excellent maneuverability at low speeds, and support ground troops. This illustrated history follows the A-10's development from its conception during the Vietnam War through its notable role as a tank-buster during the Gulf War. Also included is a large selection of photography from throughout the career of the ground-attack aircraft whose pilots came to affectionately refer to it as the "Wart Hog."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Research Aid on the A-10, July 18, 2003
By John W. Crockett (Huntington Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II (Crowood Aviation Series) (Hardcover)
In researching the A-10, this book left me no quesiton unanswered. The book is full of tables, charts, photos and illustrations that aid the text in describing the history, capabilities and future of this aircraft. The A-10 Thunderbolt, also known as the "Warthog" is a popular aircraft with US and allied ground troops. This book explains why.
