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.

 

Thanks for the reading recommendation Colin, I've always been intrigued by the glider assault forces.
