We visited the project (attached below) this spring and had lunch with the workers. They have done a terrific job with it. They may leave part of the frame exposed because to see the complicated frame under the "skin" is impressive. Now they need a place to display the glider.
Another great opportunity to see a CG 4A glider will occur on Sunday, July 17, at Mountain Iron Michigan, at 2:00 pm. The small community there, once a Ford Motor company production place for the WWII gliders, raised $400,000 to build a museum for the glider.
We will be attending and hope to meet the dedicated restoration workers and folks who worked on the production line in the 1940s.
I wonder if I can trace the glider Sylvan flew in Holland or the one he died in in England, to a factory in the USA. We've tried without success to locate the source of the piece of wood from my uncle's glider given to me by the family of the eyewitness to his death.
