I did not know the Navy had a glider program.
The paint scheme looks identicle to the Army gliders used at Twentynine Palms.

The Pratt-Read is an ex-Navy glider IIRC.

The Pratt-Read was built for the Navy by the Pratt-Read piano company (their
first and only glider). The TG-2 was built by Schweizer and is a different aircraft. I did my initial training in a Pratt-Read (30 years ago). Great fun.

Duane I've flown Pratt-Reed's and loved them. What exactly was the Navy thinking of? I have a mental picture of them being towed from an aircraft carrier. Bill Daniels
