    Alan Is it possible to read the serial number on the tail of this CG-4A? Stig
  • SDASM Archives said:
    Stig Jarlevik Looks like 3(1?)79049
  • Stig Jarlevik said:
    Thanks Alan 79049 did exist, but with fiscal year 1942, so should then be (4)279049. Are you OK with that? :-) Stig

    This photo was taken on August 1, 1943, at Lambert Airport (STL / KSTL) in St. Louis. From left to right, they are Mayor of St. Louis, William D. Becker, Thomas Dysart (President, St. Louis Chamber of Commerce), Judge Henry Mueller, Lieut. Colonel Paul Hazelton, and Max Doyne (Director of Public Utilities). These men, and five others - including William B. Robertson, the founder of St. Louis-based Robertson Aircraft Corporation (RAC) (and the builders of the WACO CG-4A troop transport glider pictured), are about to plunge to their deaths during a public demonstration flight.

    Cool shot

    Yes, correct. A famous and chilling image. I think there are pictures of the glider plunging to earth with one wing missing.
