Goose....I have a "coffee table" book which sounds like perhaps what you are looking for...although the cover doesn't have an A-10 on it(could be a later cheaper edition , I suppose!) Anyway it has a 60 page section on the A-10 which is excellent in it's treatment of nearly every aspect of the jet from inception through the Gulf War...great history and tech details as well as diagrams, pics and art work. Its called the GREAT BOOK OF MODERN WARPLANES,published by Salamander Books LTD copyright 2002 London N7 9NT, UK ISBN Number is: 1 84065 156 3 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 unless yo are looking for a specific pic that was on the cover or flyleaf...this one os excellent! Cheers....Check Six! Col R. C. Lemon |

I have the "Modern Warplanes" mentioned by rcscience but it is copyrighted in 1987. There is also a stand alone A-10 book with the same text and pix as in the big "Modern Warplanes" from the same publisher.
