WWII Assault Gliders.
Further to my post above, can I recommend this book if anyone interested in the subject has not already read it.
THE GLIDER GANG. by: MILTON DANK. pub by: CASSELL Ltd.(1977)
It is a well written, comprehensive description of assault glider use in WWII including Eben Emael Fort, Norway, Crete, Sicily, Normandy, Burma and the Rhine Crossing. By a US glider pilot with the 439th Troop Carrier Group in Europe 1944-1945.
