Waco Glider

The Waco CG-4A was an American military transport glider used in the Second World War. Towed to the operating area, it could deliver troops or equipment without requiring a powered transport to land at the objective. It took part in major Allied airborne operations, including Normandy and later campaigns. Glider operations were hazardous and depended on towing aircraft, navigation, landing areas, and rapid organization on the ground. Its unpowered flight allowed troops, vehicles, and equipment to land together without parachuting each load. Glider landings were vulnerable to obstacles, enemy fire, and scattered arrival. The type served in Sicily, Normandy, the Netherlands, and other operations, making it a major Allied airborne transport.
