Light attack aircraft


Air Power Association President, Air Marshal
(Ret’d) Greg Bagwell CB, CBE weighs up
the pros and cons of light attack aircraft.

Two very different approaches to
ground attack. The USAF’s A-10 has
faced repeated attempts by the service
to retire it, while the AT-6 Wolverine
has been earmarked by Secretary of
the Air Force Heather Wilson as one of
“the two most promising light attack
aircraft” – the other is the A-29 Super
Tucano. Beechcraft/Jim Haseltine
