Called "Republic's A-10 Thunderbolt II" A Pictorial History by Don Logan. It cost me $51 bucks, a little pricey but, it is hard-cover and full of pics. Here's a link.... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... 98-5746552 I would give this one a 7 of 10 because the pics are nothing special (90% aircraft on the ground) but a good refrance to units, paint, and tail flashes.

Thats been around since about 97, good book though, got it for about £39.00 (you can do the conversion) Schiffer books are always pricey. |

LOL Goose, all I can say is it's in the works. I have a good part of chapter I done and starting on chapter II. Chapter I was easy, a history of the A-10 up to DS but, now it gets hard because it's telling a story that's all from me. I have set-up interviews with pilots who flew in OIF/OEF at Hawgsmoke so that' s a good thing. I'm at LEAST a year from being done and don't even have a publisher yet. You guys will all get a signed copy IF it gets published but if not you may just have to read it on the web. HMFIC |

Dice, Don will be at Hawgsmoke so make sure you say hi. In case you didn't know he's a big slide shooter and has a few similar Schiffer books to his name. Was a F-4E wizzo and was shot down and spent time at the Hanoi Hilton in 71/72. A really nice guy. He might have some door art slides so I'll hook you up with him before Hawgsmoke. As for your book, there's a couple of publishers here in the UK who might be interested, again, chat to you in the land of the crawfish. GS |

That would be great Gunsmoke! Looks like Hawgsmoke is going to be a blast and I get some research done and make some new contacts! Hehe don't tell Don I only rated his book a 7/10 or he will never give me some pics! <img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle> HMFIC |

I picked up the same book about 2 years ago from Don. I was on the net one day doing a search and found that he had his own personal websie he was selling the book from. If I remember correctly, I believe I paid about 30$ shipped to my door for it. It was drastically cheaper and it came right from the man himself. He even autographed it too. I'll take a look later for his website and post the link on here when I find it in case anyone else is looking to purchase it. - Mark <img src="http://conncgp.net/albums/Mark/boom4.sized.jpg" border=0> |

Mark, thanks for pointing that out, Don Logan's website is on the links page of our website: www.sharpshooter-maj.com He also has a small portfolio in our portfolio's section (obviously!) Sorry for the plug, but we'll have a big feature on Hawgsmoke coming after we get back to Blighty. Cheers, Kev |
