Interesting But Light On Training And Developments
As the title states, it was an interesting video about what they did but it virtually ignored their training as well as later WW2 glider developments. It seems to focus on just the CG-4 glider, admittedly the most common and well known U.S. WW2 glider but by no means the only one used or flown. Other than 1 mention in passing by an interviewee of 29 Palms, CA and a map with different colored pins showing training bases, there was no mention of where they were trained or who trained them (some of America's foremost glider and sailplane pilots and designer/pilots). There was no mention of their training aircraft other than: "They flew sailplanes". This is not entirely true as there were modifications of the Piper Cub/L4 and Aeronca Champ/L16 into gliders by removing the engines and ... As the title states, it was an interesting video about what they did but it virtually ignored their training as well as later WW2 glider developments.

There was no mention of their training aircraft other than: "They flew sailplanes". This is not entirely true as there were modifications of the Piper Cub/L4 and Aeronca Champ/L16 into gliders by removing the engines and installing a third seat. Neither of these were sailplanes. There was also no mention of later WW2 glider designs such as the Chase CG-20; a rear loading all metal design for the invasion of Japan that later, with engines, evolved into the C-123 transport aircraft. Overall not a bad video, quite entertaining with archival footage but I think the researchers could have done a better job of the overall program story or else titled it something like " The WW2 Waco CG-4 Glider And Its Pilots".
