The WWII glider pilots were the pioneers in aerial vertical envelopment now known as the vertical envelope. They were caught in the chasm between the army and air arms of the Army Air Forces yet consistently made a crucial difference in the missions they flew. History has ignored these aviators, who crash landed behind enemy lines and became infantry troops - the only pilots ever to do so.
