Gliders scared my Grandfather (a medic) during the war, but it had to be done. I guarantee he never got into a glider after WWII.

Check out the book MY COUSIN KILLED HITLER, based on the story of Marshal Zhukov. It tells a family secret about him. If only Hitler knew that one of those he hunted became the hunter instead.
