Why do I gotta sign in to facebook to see the pictures? I don't have an
account and I don't want one.

Shouldn't need an account to view a Facebook "page", try clicking the link. Generally, an account is only required to view peoples profiles not "pages".

Although, I imagine facebook cripples the "page" a little to entice you to join, which is disappointing.

I clicked the link and got a popup asking me to log on. At that point I
stopped. There are enough glider pictures on the web that I don't need to
mess with social networking sites.

Soaring historians is or isn't a Libelle the first ever glass glider? Theres one on the fiel seldom flown. We were only in 4th grade back in 64', but remember this Charlie Combs character who flew his with one finger for like a hundred dist diamonds.

No, the first glass glider was the Phoenix, which first flew in 1957. It
was built by three well-known German Free Flight model flyers who had
become soaring pilots (Herman Naegele, Richard Eppler, Rudi Lindner).
Eight were built.

The H.301 Open Libelle didn't fly until 1964, but was by far the most
numerous of the first wave of glass gliders (111 built). The H.201
Standard Libelle first flew in 1967 and can claim to be the first really
mass-produced glass glider with 600 built: The contemporary Phoebus (238
built and and designed by the Phoenix team) was next.

The Standard Cirrus didn't appear until 1979 but slightly more, 740, of
them were built than both H.301 and H.201 Libelles combined.
