Description (What the record is about)
-
"The Army Glides."
"To transport an army by air is no modern idea. It was thought of long ago. Only now it can be successfully undertaken with the development of transport aircraft and gliders. According to the prevailing tactics troops can be dropped by parachute, landed from powered transport planes, or from gliders. The airborne insignia has now become a familiar sight in this country, and is a portent of things to come."
"The Army' Glider Regiment. A type of airborne N.C.O."
