Gross gliders
A US glider designer named Gross produced some 4-place gliders in the 1935,
and one of them was owned by the Purdue University gliding club. Does anyone have pictures of such a glider? The designer has been tracked to Akron, I believe and their historical society has some information about him.

Dr. Frank Gross and his work are quite familiar to us at the National Soaring Museum, where his "Sky Ghost" is on display. We charge modest research and copying fees for non-members. Inquiries may be sent to nsmATsoaringmuseum.org.

Gross designed the Baker-MacMillan Cadet, the Akron Condor, the Sky Ghost and a 4-place glider. At the NSM we have a photo of Wolfgang Klemperer sitting in the 4-place.
