摘要

While the A-10 Close Air Support Aircraft (CAS) had been planned for by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) as early as the mid to late 1960s, its true origin can be traced to December 1970 when Secretary of the Air Force Robert C. Seamans, Jr., awarded contracts for two prototypes, both designated the A-X. It would eventually be called the Thunderbolt II, descendent of Republic's famous World War II P-47 Thunderbolt I. But Air Force pilots would also call the Thunderbolt II the 'Warthog," "Hog," or "HAWG" because it looked ugly, and because of its tenacious close-in and low-level fighting capabilities, especially during inclement weather.
