Longest glider flight

Sorry, I meant to change the subject line.

So, what was the longest (in time) glider flight, and is there any
official body that recognizes such records.

56:15 hr, Charles Atger, Air-100, starting 4/2/1952, following which
FAI-IGC ceased recognizing the duration category. See "The Powerless
Ones", Michael Cumming (London, 1966), p. 220.

They probably stopped it when too many crashed and
burned
