In the article it says (about military gliders): "These craft were used for a single flight only." I think that's not true, because I remember reading about allied parties that recovered gliders after Operation Market Garden. Can't find a reliable source at the moment though.

I was in the 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment in the late 90's, while looking thru old log books and other materials from their participation in WWII (325th Glider Infantry Regiment)there were records of how many gliders were recoverable after the landings during Operation Market Garden. Of 60 gliders used, 4 were still serviceable. 13 were damaged but repairable, the rest were unrecoverable. Doctrine of the time also stated that gliders were to be re-used. -- 82nd Paratrooper 20:25, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
'Neither Lord Gilbert nor the other politicians present appeared to be aware that this would have been impossible.
Why would this have been impossible? Range? Anti-aircraft fire? Non-existence of suitable gliders?
Interesting. When I looked for gliders, I did not find the Military Glider section. Need to make sure links are in place. Cheer. -- Flightsoffancy ( talk) 15:04, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
are they a part of the fighting force or just "drivers"? were regular GI's trained for this type of job or airmen? it should be mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.138.67.25 ( talk) 03:04, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
