Are there any good stories (books & movies, fiction or nonfiction)
which include a lot of glider flying?

A book about cross country gliding would be perfect... a documentary,
etc.

Thanks

Yes. "Free Flight". A novel by Douglas Terman, author of First
Strike. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. Fictional, of
the future, with great glider chase story. I enjoyed it immensely. A
must read for all glider pilots. The protagonist has a character not
unlike most glider pilots. I think all will agree. A read it in
one night, as it is so compelling of a read you will not put it down
once started. With the darkness of Winter, those extra hours of
darkness can be enjoyed with dreams of flight with a dramatic plot.
You will see yourself as the protagonist. Trust me. If you can get
the book, its a keeper.
