About

The inside story of what the USAF officially calls the most controversial program in Air Force history.

Author Don Dwiggins, was lured to join the AAG Glider Corps in World War II by a poster that said "You Too Can Soar To Victory-ON SILENT WINGS!" There was tragedy, humor, endless foulups; disasters and great victories, as America overtook the Nazi Glider Corps that invaded the Benelux countries, spreading their infamous "whispering death" from the skies.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and maps.
