    lw. glider pilots badge - part of a vet. family obtained legacy


    Recommended Posts

    For members who might not have seen a DFS 230 assault glider. This was taken near Amiens during 7. Flieger-Division field manoeuvres in 1942. The pilot has levelled out from his steep dive, slowed by the drogue parachute, and is coming in to land.

    Hello,

    Excellent picture Prosper, thanks for sharing. And here is a very similar picture where a DFS 230 is comming in with the parachute. (note: not all DFS230 's did use a Chute, this practice was only later in the war tested and effectively used. By using a stop-chute the glider could fly in a shorter track and land + stop faster.)

    Cordial greetings,
