Don Logan’s all-new pictorial book is intended as both a complementary
and supplementary volume to his first A-10 book, Republic’s A-10
Thunderbolt II: A Pictorial History (Schiffer Publishing Ltd.). This
book bridges the gap between 1997, when his first A-10 book was
published, and summer 2006 with 550 current action A-10 photographs and
updated Squadron information, including the effect of Base Realignment
and Closure (BRAC) 2006 on A-10 units. All twelve continental U.S. bases
operating A-10s are covered, and in taking the photographs the author
personally photographed ten of the bases, as well as A-10s on the Nellis
AFB range complex, Bollen Range at Fort Indiantown Gap near Harrisburg
Pennsylvania, Razorback Range at Fort Chaffee near Fort Smith Arkansas,
and Claiborne Range at Fort Polk near Alexandria, Louisiana. The three
bases outside the forty-eight contiguous United States bases – Eielson
AFB in Alaska, Spangdahlem AB in Germany, and Osan AB in South Korea –
are also represented.
