HOGS:Birthday in Iraq

Colonel Michael “Skull” Knowlington, commander of Devil Squadron in the Iraqi desert, is trying to forget that it’s his birthday. First off, it makes him feel old and lonely. Second, there’ll be less temptation to celebrate with his staff and break his hard-won sobriety streak. The best way to forget is to fly. Up in the A-10A warthog, Skull feels as young as he was when he was a decorated pilot in Vietnam. His sortie is an easy one—until he picks up on a distress call from a stranded Navy Seal team. They’re trapped on a hill, surrounded by a swarm of enemy soldiers on all sides. Does Knowlington still have what it takes to help them?NY Times #1 Bestselling author Jim DeFelice (American Sniper) wrote BIRTHDAY IN IRAQ to celebrate his own August birthday. It features characters in JIM DEFELICE'S HOGS FIRST GULF WAR novel series, available on Kindle, focusing on a colorful group of brave pilots flying A-10 warthogs over the skies of Iraq during the First Gulf War in 1991. He based this dramatic, historical action series on the actual events. Filled with blistering action and gritty authenticity, this is a powerful and exciting tribute to the men and women who flew and serviced these no-nonsense, down in the dirt” flying machines.
