Brrrttt...: Deployments, war chronicles and stories of the last A-10 “Warthogs”

By David Cenciotti

With tensions high in the Middle East, the Korean Peninsula and Europe, and a destiny made even more uncertain by the Pentagon's latest budget proposal, the A-10 Thunderbolt II continues to be at the forefront of the U.S. and Allied air power across the world.For sure, the venerable beast is still proving to be a valuable, lethal and highly resilient weapon system that has never failed to raise the spirits of friendly forces, with its distinct cannon, massive payload and unique silhouette.Often described as ungainly or even ugly, an A-10 in flight is actually a beautiful machine and the enthusiasm and pride felt by their pilots and maintainers is evident. That pride, rooted in an already long history of close air support and combat search and rescue, tank busting and precision strafing, show of force and lethal guided munitions, has earned the A -10 a rightful place in the hearts of those who count on its presence to win the day.By mixing historical perspective and current days operations, this ebook aims at informing the analysts, educating skeptics and delighting fans through first-hand accounts, anecdotes, artworks and photographs.
