Nowadays, air forces keep their aircraft in their inventory for many years, sometimes decades. The cargo gliders, on the other hand, were generally only intended for one-off use by the German air force at the time. The primary purpose of these aircraft was to drop soldiers and material silently and undetected behind enemy lines. From the DFS 230 for ten soldiers to the huge Me 321 "Gigant" with a take-off weight of up to 34 tonnes, this unique documentation presents all the models with rare photos, crack drawings, technical data and their development history.
