Talk:List of World War II military gliders

Military Trainig Gliders for list?
The US converted some light aircraft (Piper J-3/L-4, Aroncas) for military trainers. These are not civilian models but custom made for the military.--Flightsoffancy (talk) 00:05, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I dont see why not as long as they were given glider designations. MilborneOne (talk) 06:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

List of Military Gliders
Why limit the scope to WWII, which is when the vast majority of designs originated, as there were some notable military gliders design and built after the war ended.Petebutt (talk) 20:17, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I wasn't aware of any save early design for the GAL Universal Freighter (before they stuck engines on it to give the Blackburn Beverley). Having had a look there is the Chase XCG-20 (2 built) and Chase YC-122 Avitruc (6 built), how many are there to add if we changed the scope? GraemeLeggett (talk) 22:26, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * (ec) Not 100% sure why but I think it was created as part of a series of articles under Category:Military aircraft of World War II, that said I see no reason why it cant be a list of all military gliders as they were not that many more produced, mainly just after the war. We could then create a Category:World War II military gliders or something similar if needed. MilborneOne (talk) 22:29, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * seems reasonable. Just like to clarify scope - that we are excluding gliders used by the military solely for training pilots. And where do we stand on unmanned gliders such as the Glombs ( glide bombs)? GraemeLeggett (talk) 07:51, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
