Hog Noel

'Twas the night before Christmas in the Saudi Arabian desert, only a short hop from the Iraqi border. A10-A Hog pilots A-Bomb and Doberman are getting in some target practice. The pilots don't mind -- what else is there to do when you're gearing up for the start of a possible war against Saddam Hussein? But Doberman's not happy about A-Bomb's attempts to update Christmas carols with military themes -- It's sacrilege, that's what it is! But the lecture's cut short when a French pilot radios that he's in trouble, and A-Bomb gets a lesson in the true meaning of Christmas in HOG NOEL. This is the second short story in author Jim DeFelice's Hogs Short Story series, featuring characters from all six novels in Jim DeFelice's Hogs First Gulf War series. These fictional stories are based on the exploits of the real A-10A Warhog pilots in the international coalition's First Gulf War of 1991. Available as e-books on Kindle.
