In our DVD section: SILENT WINGS

They were silent and nearly undetectable, especially at night. Their trips were one way, without a motor. Once they reached their destinations, they had to fight their way back out. The glider infantry of WWII suffered some of the heaviest casualties of the war. Learn a little about their history in this documentary, narrated by Hal Holbrook and featuring archival footage and interviews, including WWII glider riders Andy Rooney and Walter Cronkite.

See it in the catalog here.
