We spent a very
enjoyable 2 hours at the Silent Wing Museum, dedicated to glider pilots of WWII. Lots of memorabilia, including a full-sized glider from the era, and parts of others that showed how they were put together, etc. Did not know that many of the gliders were built by Ford at Willow Run. Once again, J really wanted to call her Dad, who originally wanted to be a glider pilot, but became a top turret gunner on B17s instead. He survived 35 missions.
