Outwardly ugly and ungainly, the A-10 is one of the most efficient aerial killers ever to take to the sky. Sheathed in 900 pounds of titanium armor, the Warthog - whose official name is the Thunderbolt II - can survive direct hits from armor-piercing and high-explosive projectiles as large as 23mm. It has triple redundancy in its flight control systems, allowing pilots to fly and land when hydraulic power is out or part of a wing has been shot off. Introduced in the mid-1970s, the A-10 has seen service in the Gulf War of 1990-1991; in the Balkans, later in the 1990s; in Afghanistan after 2001; and in the occupation of Iraq, beginning in the spring of 2003. Illustrated with more than 106 photographs, 11 full color paintings, 43 detail drawings and 2 pages of 3-view drawings. 56 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67857132618016,"sku":"NEW0897476204","price":61.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81ys1UQpp3L_38988089-28bb-47bb-a483-fbbf3000f643.jpg?v=1792338836","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-10-warthog-in-action-aircraft-no-218-0897476204","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
