US Glider Pilots of World War II The WW2 Podcast
-
- 歴史
The US glider pilots in WWII were all volunteers. Playing a pivotal role in delivering thousands of troops, including logistical support, these pilots landed their gliders ahead of the ground forces in Italy, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Yet, 80 years later, their story is virtually unknown.
For this episode, I am joined by Scott McGaugh.
Scott is the author of The Brotherhood of the Flying Coffin: The Glider Pilots of World War II.
If this has piqued your interest in Glider pilots, in episode 13, I discuss the experiences of British glider pilots with Matt Yates.
