Guest Ranger332 Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/aircraft/WWII...z/info/info.htm Interesting story Readers of Soaring may recall the television movie "The Birdmen" in which Allied POW's constructed a glider and launched it from the rooftop of the German castle used to imprison them. What you may not know is there actually was such a glider, constructed by British officers held captive in Colditz Castle during WWII.
