There were approximately 6000 individuals who were trained as glider pilots during WWII for one-way missions into enemy territory. Sylvan Ralph Lucier was one of these brave men, and was killed in the line of duty during a training accident. This website collects his family's research on his life and death.

Glider Pilot Christmas Greeting, 1942, Dalhart TX



Of the many cards my uncle F/O Sylvan Lucier sent home,
this Christmas card with Glider Pilot wings is most meaningful!

My best wishes to WWII veterans gathered with families this week,
and my prayer for peace to those service persons today separated from family.

To those who have lost loved ones, light a candle and talk about the love that lives on.
