Good morning, SAM.....It's mindboggling what was accomplished on D-Day. I was reading something the other day that reminded me that parachuting was still pretty new at that time, and never before been attempted so massively. Amazing.

I met the son of a man who built gliders that were used throughout WWII. I wonder if gliders were ever again used very much, after that war?

Good Morning WaterDragon

Gliders for large troop movements pretty much ended after WWII.

If you ever want to read a very good book about the Airborne Operation on D-Day, read "Night Drop" by S.L.A. Marshall

Good morning WaterDragon, yep our men are good looking that's for sure.

Based on your question about gliders, here is a thread on gliders we did a while back you might like.
