Default YOUR AUGUST UPDATE


=E2=80=A2 A historical report on the Grunau Baby, the glider used for

the
=
Benalla record flight. Estimated that over 6000 of these sailplanes were
a=
ctually built, the largest number of any glider ever manufactured. German
o=
f course!


NO the SG-38 (10000 +) was produced in much larger numbers (and
possibly the Antonov A-1 with around 6000 built), 6000 being quite a high
estimate for the GB - but of course the Waco CG-4 with nearly 14000
produced as them all beat
