Follow the formidable A-10 ‘Warthog’ into battle in Afghanistan operating as close air support to allied forces to bring peace to a troubled land. The only aircraft designed solely for the CAS mission and equipped with the formidable GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling gun, loved by its pilots and feared by the enemy.

The U.S. Marines had reported receiving fire from a strong Taliban position. It would only take about 20 minutes to get on station. Griffin could then get on with clearing the pockets of resistance; to allow the U.S. Marines to take their objective.
