Was this a common maneuver? It was really an extraction method, so I don't think it was commonly used. (Individuals were yanked out the same way  Perhaps because of the high density altitude in India and Burma, it became routine? Perhaps it did. Obviously a C-47 could more easily heft the glider at 100? mph than it could on a takeoff run. I wonder what kind of line they used? Manila doesn't have any stretch in it! Was there nylon line in WWII? all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com The Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com
