Heavy Metal:
A-10 Tankbuster - VHS Video
The most feared aircraft in the US Air Force,
the A-10 Tankbuster was the first aircraft in U.S.
aviation history designed specifically for close air
support. Its ability to support ground troops, to
take out enemy positions and tanks and act as a spotter
plane have made it one of the most successful jets
of recent times. This video chronicles the combat
history of the "Warthog" and features interviews
with current pilots who share combat experiences and
take you for an unforgettable flight in the A-10.

Weapons at War:
Attack Aircraft
- VHS Video
Where other pilots try to survive by staying away
from enemy guns, the men who fly ground support spend
much of their time buzzing just above the infantry
and tanks they attack. One tiny mistake can slam them
into the ground in a split second. One well-placed
shot means instant death. In World War I, daring pilots
would lean over the sides of rickety biplanes to drop
grenades on troops below. Today, awesome planes like
the A-10 "Warthog" streak low across the
battlefield, ripping through infantry and blasting
enemy tanks open with their devastating cannon and
missiles. They are a vital part of nearly all land-based
operations, providing essential support to troops
on the ground. Attack Aircraft chronicles the development,
technology and strategy of these "flying tanks."
Combat footage shows them in action from World War
II to Desert Storm, and in gripping interviews pilots
detail the tactics that they employ to stay alive
while firing on targets sometimes only a hundred feet
away. It's a riveting look at a dangerous and difficult
mission, and at the extraordinary planes that perform
it. 50 min. |
