I remember the incident well, I was 12 years old at
the time. It showed up in Life magazine, as I recall.

To belabor the point a bit, I remember seeing a flight
of 75 of these CG-4s towed by C-47s across my village
in North Carolina during the Big One.

Can anyone verify, identify, or point to a picture?
