Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II:

During the Cold War, the Russians assembled an imposing fleet of modern and powerful tanks. As a response, the USAF needed a close air-support aircraft that was powerful enough to destroy these menacing tanks and tough enough to remain airborne itself. Thus, the A-10 Thunderbolt was born. This exciting program tracks the history of the recognizable "Warthog," and features combat footage and a rare assortment of government-issued informational films. 1 hr. 18 min.
