• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Gliders in the pacific

I know gliders were used in the Burma operations but I don't know if we used them in the PTO. I saw some films of the 11th Airborne's assault on Corregidor but I don't think they used any gliders... just parachutes and they jumped real low.
 
The Marines were set up the same way the Army was with trained jumpers and gulider units.The problem was in the PTO it is hard on guliders and jumpers when the only place you have to land is in a canopy of trees.
