WACO CG-4A

The CG 4 glider had been designed for the united states Army during the Second World War to equip troops with an air transport solution that might be simple to create and cost little, seeing as these people were anticipated to be abandoned after landing. Over 12,000 Waco gliders were made and saw action in most major allied offensives in both European and Pacific theatres. Typically towed by a C-47 Dakota or C- 46 Commando, it could transport 15 completely equipped troops.
