Anyone know how to find more data and photos on WWII glider pilots
from both 29 Palms and Lubbock TX? Communicated with George at the Nat WW2 Glider Pilots Assn, but we know there are some amateur historians who monitor this group and others. Philip and his family are receiving a special recognition and event with the local TV stations next week. Thanks. Karen |

There were over seven thousand civilian glider pilots who volunteered their time to help train military glider pilots. The average life expectancy for the occupant of a CG4 in combat 17 seconds. Even if that was a typo given us 17 mintues is still staggering. What a sacrifice. Not too many of them around in 2010. Philip is 98, born in England, migrated to Canada, now has dimentia and this Wednesday....Phil is going to fly a gider again! Thanks. Salute. |
