[Micdrow]

Well I have'nt found a pilots manual yet but have found some nice manuals that go very well with the aircraft. So I started this form, maybe some one will find the pilot manual. Below are what the manuals are about.

1. Glider retrivial system
2. Glider Deceleration system
3. Glider Tow Ropes

Document's came from here. Silent Wings Museum

Cool stuff! I work on the USAFA Sailplane program which has its roots back to WW2 - I'm going to share this stuff with some of those guys...

During WW2 CG-4A had a wing depart at the factory during a exhibition flight killing the company president and the Mayor of St. Louis!

That's pretty interesting. Here is a website on the 440th troop carrier group along with a complete book you can download and read.

Very cool - I think there is a plaque in one of the building here commemorating this unit.
