Yes it is.. Artist did a good job... Although, that Zero goin down most certainly woulda had flames comin off his aircraft.... No self-sealing fuel tanks was a big gamble...

And a BIG benefit to many, many Allied pilots...

Back on topic, the following is a list of gliders I can name

CG-4
CG-13
Airspeed Horsa
General Aircraft Hamlcar
Gotha Go.242
DFS 230
Messerschmitt Me.323
Antonov A-7
Kokusai Ku-8

They could be quite effective if used properly, the most sucsessful mission was the German capture of the fortress Eben-Emal.

The Me-323 wasnt a glider, that's the powered version. The Me-321 was the glider 8)
