Description
The A-10 Warthog was first thrust into battle in Operation Desert Storm, where its pilots faced daunting odds. This is the story of one of those pilots, a man who flew the Warthog through walls of flak and surface-to-air missiles to help defeat a formidable enemy. With a small squeeze of the trigger, the Warthog could rip the turret off a thirty-ton battle tank and send it flying 200 feet across the desert. As the pilot recounts his year-long journey, he reveals the mental and emotional toll of war, as well as his personal struggles to win over a woman and keep control of his demons. This is a deeply personal and epic account of a modern combat pilot's experiences, one that will give readers a unique understanding of the mind of a man who relied on the A-10 to accomplish his missions. For those who have admired the Warthog or seen it in action, this book offers a chance to virtually strap into the cockpit and gain a deeper understanding of the pilot's experiences.
