Description: "The use of combat gliders by German forces during the late 1930s and early 1940s led the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union to develop very large glider programs.  This is the story of the training of U.S. WW II glider pilots, mainly in the U.S., but also includes some training of U.S. glider pilots that took place in some foreign countries" -- p. xiii.
