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. ...

After initial problems & a high loss rate the type proved itself beyond all doubt as the Naval services best night & foul-weather platform particularly during the regions notorious monsoon season. The A-6 Intruder became a true classic of naval aviation over the skies of North Vietnam but the cost was high as 69 Intruders were lost in combat to all causes during the war. This work tells the complete story of these aircraft in combat during the Vietnam War. ...
