One of the best parts of Errol Flynn’s movie Operation Burma is the footage at the end showing glider ops including the snatch of a glider from the forward LZ by a transport plane.

Thanks for the update. I love the story of our brave airmen and soldiers in gliders during World War II. The allied struggle in the CBI theater is seldom discussed. Over 8,000 feet in a glider wow, now that takes some skill and a lot of courage. My military history friends are all talking about your book, Suicide Jockeys, the making of glider pilots in WWII. Keep up the good work!
