Default Re: USMC OOB13 (v.7) - flame tanks and misc.

Any chance of the USMC Glider Program appearing?

The USN ordered two different 10-12 man gliders (LRA) and (LRQ) and played around with large 24 man gliders (LRG).


LRA in factory


LRA on takeoff


LRQ on ground.

Both small gliders (LRA and LRQ) got 100+ item orders and they investigated the large concepts on the drawing board

But none of the production gliders had been completed when the U.S. Navy cancelled its glider program.
