Following on from the hugely successful "The Modern Viper Guide", this book is another absolute "must-have" for those wishing to know more about how the A-10 is built. Again working hand in hand with pilots and crewchiefs, this is the single most comprehensive detail-type book ever produced on the mighty A-10 Warthog. Full coverage of the early A-10 is included, as is extensive coverage of the modern A-10A, A-10A+, and the "glass cockpit" A-10C.
Special emphasis is again placed on modern upgrade programs (Night Vision, LASTE, EGI-INS, Precision Engagement, etc.), along with modern weapons platforms (LITENING AT and Sniper targeting pods, GBU-38 JDAM, GBU-12, etc).

Back by popular demand, the Modern Hog Guide is now available!! But not as a straight reprint as originaly envisaged! Like The Modern Eagle Guide's 2nd Edition, the 2nd Edition of the Hog Guide offers more/better coverage of all A-10s, but especially the older, pre-LASTE jets. It also covers the recent upgrades to the jet since the original edition was published 10(!) years ago, such as the SATCOM, Scorpion HMIT, and AAR-47 system.

The 2nd Edition has 172 pages (compared to only 120 pages for the original release), and 1,013 full color images. Nearly all of those images are new for this edition, with only a handful of repeats that are found in the original. No other source anywhere offers as many photos or as much information as a single Modern Guide.
