The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, commonly nicknamed the
"Warthog" due to its unusual and ungainly appearance, became the
most effective close-air-support aircraft that has ever served for
the US Air Force and Air National Guard. Designed around the
GAU-8/A Avenger autocannon, the aircraft was a highly effective
tank killer during Operation Desert Storm. The Warthog continues to
serve, from its first appearance in 1976 through subsequent wars up
to the present time, and well into the future. This concise,
illustrated book covers the construction, development, and combat
history of this unusual aircraft and features superb detail and
combat photography. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
