近接航空支援に最適な機体は何か、近接航空支援と戦場阻止のバランスはなどの論議を、戦術面だけではなく、政治問題とも絡ませ色々な意見を紹介しており、それはそれで価値がある。しかし、筆者自身の見解は明らかでなく、資料の羅列に終わっている。
写真は第二次世界大戦から現代まで近接航空支援に使用された機体の白黒でサイズの小さいものがあるだけで、A-10の機体の技術的解説や細部写真はない。

The Warthog and the Close Air Support Debate ハードカバー – 2003/5/31
英語版
Douglas N. Campbell
(著)
In this story of an underdog and the interaction of the military, politics, and technology in America, Campbell leads the reader through CAS history prior to the A-10's inception and shows how Air Force history and doctrine confronted factors such as the Vietnam War and the Army's super attack helicopter, which led the Air Force to build the Warthog. The author uses the aircraft's turbulent developmental and operational life to highlight a relatively neglected aspect of air combat history, and the book's wide historical scope sets it apart from others on the subject.

The book deals with the history of CAS optimized Aircraft and the A-10 Warthog in particular.

The book is extensively resaearched and its core arguements well articulated. However, the book is in need of updating for the period 2003 onward

Only for procurement historians.

I understand those who are skeptical to stamp collectors of loose aviation facts, but there has to be a middle ground. Except from some few tens of pages about the early history of the CAS role early in the page, on turned into a long, tedious recount about the Army's struggle with the Air Force, to get a well suited aircraft for the CAS role. There is almost nothing about the choices and thought processes behind the development of this (or these) aircrafts. Not with the development of the tactics. And not with any change in the psychology and attitude with regards to flying this "ugly", subsonic aircraft.
Despite enticing chapter titles, it's just a procurement story. And most of all the political side of it.

Political History, Not Action/Adventure
2008年11月15日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Campbell's history of the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is an excellent academic examination of the political and bureaucratic processes involved in the development of both military doctrine and the weaponry to support the doctrine.
This is not a history of the A-10 Warthog in combat. This is the definitive work on the development of a modern, jet propelled Close Air Support (CAS) weapon for the Air Force and new CAS doctrine for the Cold War. The reader seeking an understanding of the political infighting, inter-service rivalries, the procurement process and the difficulties of weapons development associated with the military-industrial complex will be deeply satisfied. The reader looking for action and war stories will not.

I have read a myriad of books on the military(I have loved anything to do with the Air Force since I went to military camp at Culver) but this great read by Dr. Campbell was such a great find, I read it one sitting.
It is a great read for everyone! Do yourself a favor and buy it, this book will not let the reader down.
