WWIIinterviews Posted February 3, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 3, 2017 I hope this hasn't been covered before but, I was wondering if there may be some information out there on what glider pilots wore per mission? Photographs would be great. I am looking for what they wore to begin a display and collection. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_k Posted February 3, 2017 Share #2 Posted February 3, 2017 Hi. Why you dont do a research in WWW firstly and put here some more special question? In the Interent you have everything, orgin. pics,, info, even at Ebay you can find some important things... Try to use also a "search" here. Im not Airborne expert soo I cant help you but sometimes put a little bit work is worth more than make a post like this, sorry. Regards, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iron Brigade Posted February 3, 2017 Share #3 Posted February 3, 2017 Search the forum using the words Glider Pilot and you will find some interesting threads like the following. -2nd Lt Elwood Brindle, Glider Pilot 75th Troop Carrier Squadron, 435th Troop Carrier Group. -Troop Carrier Officers tunic - 88th TCS 438th TCG Do a Google search using the words Glider Pilot and you will find many photos of American and British Glider Pilots. Plus quite a few books have been published on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy1275 Posted February 3, 2017 Share #4 Posted February 3, 2017 I own both those two uniforms mentioned. Are you more interested in what GP's wore in combat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpin Jack Posted February 3, 2017 Share #5 Posted February 3, 2017 My book Heroes In Our Midst, Vol 2 has extensive coverage on the Troop Carrier Command and Glider personnel. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWIIinterviews Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted February 4, 2017 I own both those two uniforms mentioned. Are you more interested in what GP's wore in combat? Yes. I would like to build a full display of what they wore on missions if possible. From a couple of pictures I've seen, some look similar to airborne troops.

doinworkinvans Posted February 4, 2017 Share #7 Posted February 4, 2017 If you have a subscription to Fold3 there are lots of pics there too...but a simple Google or forum will do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
