    Thirty years on, USAF’s A-10 units are going strong, moving out with new weapons, targeting pods, avionics, and training. 21st Century Warthog Photography by Guy Aceto and Paul Kennedy On the flight line at Pope AFB, N.C., a brace of A-10 Warthog attack aircraft are readied for a training mission. The A-10 is famed for a nose-mounted 30 mm Gatling gun and great ruggedness. Also notable is a new feature—the Litening II laser targeting pod—seen on these aircraft. 34 AIR FORCE Magazine / June 2005 Photo by Guy Aceto 21st Century Warthog AIR FORCE Magazine / June 2005 35 he A-10A Thunderbolt II, known Tto all as the Warthog, began as a down-and-dirty killer of Soviet tanks.

Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.

  • Throughout the 1930S, American Airmen Fought the Imperial Japanese Army in China

    Throughout the 1930S, American Airmen Fought the Imperial Japanese Army in China

    Throughout the 1930s, American airmen fought the Imperial Japanese Army in China. Before the Flying Tigers By Robert E. van Patten ully 10 years before the advent of Claire Chennault’s Flying Tigers, American pilots and airplanes were involved in an air war over China. What was to become the Sino–Japanese War in 1937 actually began with a Japanese incursion in Manchuria in 1931. This conflict festered for the next six years. In that period, pilots from the US, Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and probably Germany took part in battles in the skies over China. FWith the exception of the Italian and Russian contingents, which were officially sanctioned by their governments, the pilots who trained the Chi- nese and who fought for them were adventurers, soldiers of fortune, and out-of-work military professionals. Most of them were Americans. Many historians consider this hit-or-miss, bloody little air war to be a backwater of events. Yet the battles fought by these early warriors laid the groundwork for a massive air war over China, Southeast Asia, the Mariana Islands, and the Japanese homeland. The fighting history of US–built aircraft in combat inside China actually extends back to 1930, when American–produced light bombers were used in action against two northern warlords. In 1931, 20 light bombing –observation airplanes were ordered from Douglas. These are believed to have been the Type 02MC-4, large two-place, radial-engined biplanes, which were used as trainers at the Nanking flying school. The invasion of Manchuria by Imperial Japanese Army units in Septem- ber 1931 added impetus to the strengthening of the Chinese Air Force, not least because the Japanese attack put an end to a civil war between factions based in Nanking and Canton.

    "Before I Left the United States in the Summer of 1941, I Asked a Few Friends in Louisiana to Watch the Newspapers and Send Me Any Clippings About the A.V.G

    FREDERICKSBURG, TEXAS Activity Title: The Flying Tigers Activity Objectives: The student understands the impact of U.S. participation in World War II, specifically the volunteerism and actions of the Flying Tigers in China. TEKS: U.S. History: 113.41(c)(7)(A,E,G) 1. Introduction: American airmen have a history of volunteering to fight in wars in which the U.S. was not yet involved in. These groups included: Lafayette Escadrille—American volunteers in the French Air Service during World War I Kościuszko Squadron—American volunteers fighting for Poland in the Polish-Soviet War (1919–1921). Yankee Squadron – American volunteers fighting in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) engaging Nazis and fascist Italian forces. Eagle Squadron—American volunteers in the RAF during World War II In China this group was the American Volunteer Group, known as the Flying Tigers. They painted sharks’ teeth on the noses of their airplanes yet they were called the “Flying Tigers”. Ask the students why? In truth, Chennault didn’t know either, when asked about it, he said: "Before I left the United States in the summer of 1941, I asked a few friends in Louisiana to watch the newspapers and send me any clippings about the A.V.G. Now I was being swamped with clippings from stateside newspapers, and my men were astonished to find themselves world famous as the Flying Tigers. The insignia we made famous was by no means original with the A.V.G. Our pilots copied the shark-tooth design on their P-40's noses from a colored illustration in the India Illustrated Weekly depicting an R.A.F.

Although most FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) sheets provide the answers to commonly asked questions about using a piece of software, this document is meant to serve as a ready source of background material for the A-10A aircraft itself. This document is truly a labor of love; we’ve collectively spent a lot of time on this documenting sources of information, and trying to present it so that you can not only look up something on the run via the Table of Contents (CMD-K), but also so you can take time to learn in depth just why the A-10 is such a special plane. Dedication Our goal in this document is to help you, the reader, understand that this is a real plane, in which, men in uniform have died in the service of their nation. These men left behind people who grieve for them, and families that are no longer whole. It is in the memory of these individuals that we wish to dedicate this document. Additionally, there are many more pilots who died flying the A-10; because of limited information access, we have not been made aware of these individuals. If you have information, please refer to the third-to-last chapter to contact the authors.
