Today i got a book about the A-10 by mail.
It calls \"Warthog, Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War\" Written by William L. Smallwood. ISBN 1-57488-886-2
Potomac Books Inc, Dulles Virginia (www.potomacbooksinc.com)

So now everybody has all the information about the book. Are mine questions. Does somebody read this book? I bought it because it is about A-10 and it belongs in mine collection.
Let me know what you think about it and if it was a good buy!

It's a classic Dutchy and a must have for any A-10 collection.

Fellow forummembers. What are the books that I must have in mine collection? I got allready some books, but always need more.
So come on with you list of \"must have\". I have the old and new A-10 books of Don Logan.

Some books are difficult to get here in the Netherlands, but I get nothing when I never try.

I have a signed copy from some of the pilots plus I bought \"80-0248\" (Mack) a copy years ago. I have 2 copies a First printing and the paperback first printing.

Like you guys said \"ITS A MUST FOR A COMPLETE A-10 COLLECTION\"

Its strange to read about events that you were there to witness first hand,the people in it and look at pictures of the folks you worked with everyday.

I dont own an A-10 book. With that in mind, I'm going to stop at Barnes and Noble tomorrow and pic up \"The Epic of Gilgamesh\".

So it took al longer time than i thought (because i read other books), but last night i read the last pages. What a great book. It gave me a good view what the people did and how they lived in Desert Shield en Desert Storm.
Are there more A-10 books like this one about the Desert Storm?
[bow] for everybody that served overthere in those days.

It's a good book, but a little too much whining/back patting by some of the Myrtle beach guys.
