The A-10 was never a favourite amongst the USAF's senior staff & prior to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 they had attempted to transfer the aircraft to the US Army & Marine Corps. Reprieved from premature retirement the A-10 would see combat in the Balkans during the mid-1990s & over Iraq in Operations Northern Watch & Southern Watch until Operation Iraqi Freedom began in 2003. Following the 11 September 2001 attacks in the United States the Bush administration responded with the instigation of Operation Enduring Freedom. A-10 aircraft first entered the fray during Operation Anaconda in March 2002. During Anaconda four A-10s flying from Pakistan provided 21 straight hours of FAC (A)/CAS coverage. The untold story of the A-10 in Enduring Freedom will be explored & presented as never before through first hand interviews & photography from those involved along with official military achieves. This title is the first of three planned covering the combat experience of the USAF's A-10 Thunderbolt II units. Follow-on volumes will examine the role of the Warthog during Operation Desert Storm & Operation Iraqi Freedom.
