Evil.Bonsai Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Being an avid reader, back in the early/mid-90s, I had read a few novels about the a10 warthog. There was a series of a few books but for the life of me I can't remember the names or author(s). I'd swear one of them was something along the lines BLAH BLAH BLAH #2: HOGS GOING DEEP or something like that. When I last moved, I had to get rid of about 6 boxes of books (out of 18) just to make room. I think some of those books I wish I still had now. Anyone got a list? Amazon was NOT helpful :/ NM: Gah I'm an idiot. Just found them! http://www.amazon.com/Going-Deep-Hogs-James-Ferro/dp/0425168565/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1313574515&sr=1-1

Jona33 Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 "Sea Harrier Over The Falklands" - best military aviation book I have read, a true story of breathtaking heroism and infuriating bungling! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sea-Harrier-Over-Falklands-Paperbacks/dp/0304355429 I've never been sure about that. The story itself is great but his arguments for scrapping the eurofighter and Tornado and having an all harrier force (why not go the extra mile and scrap the RAF in total) seem weak, poorly thought out and detract from the book. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
Mandrake5 Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I've never been sure about that. The story itself is great but his arguments for scrapping the eurofighter and Tornado and having an all harrier force (why not go the extra mile and scrap the RAF in total) seem weak, poorly thought out and detract from the book. I don't recall the details, but his point about scrapping the sea harriers and leaving only a land based fighter defence of he Falklands, which would be vulnerable to enemy special forces ops, seemed legit to me.... However, I agree his views probably contain plenty of pro FAA bias, but the developing story of the air war over the islands (from a pilots point of view), from the early planning stages on the long southward sea journey to the actual CAP patrols, some successful, some tragic failures, to the inter squadron rivalry and the crass incompetence of certain naval commanders who didn't understand how to use their air assets properly, is IMO utterly enthralling.

Jona33 Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Oh yes, the actual story is fantastic and he makes some good points. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
FanBoy2006.01 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Here is a fiction book I can recommend. Quite good. It's about F111s.

Eihort Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy Conventional WWIII in the 80s. Runs the gammut of naval and ground pounding. Decent story. Red Phoenix by Larry Bond Helped the above write Hunt For Red October, and father of Harpoon the war game. Hypothetical Korean war. Pretty decent. In a very similar vein to the above.
