The A-10 Thunderbolt II attack bomber, built by Fairchild Republic, is the first USAF aircraft designed specifically for close air support of ground forces. It is named for the famous P-47 Thunderbolt, a fighter often employed in a close air support role during the latter part of World War II.

The A-10 is maneuverable at low speeds and low altitudes for accurate weapons delivery. It is intended for use against all ground targets - specifically tanks and other armored vehicles.

The Thunderbolt II's great endurance gives it a large combat radius and/or long loiter time in a battle area. It's short take-off and landing capability permits operation from airstrips close to the front lines.

Service at forward area bases with limited facilities is possible because of the A-10's simplicity of design. A-10A production started in 1975. Delivery to USAF units was from 1976 to 1984.
