Gliders: Weapons of World War II: TV Schedule: Rocky Mountain PBS

When it was impossible for aircraft to land safely on enemy territory, gliders were the perfect answer for delivering special forces behind enemy lines. German paratroopers used gliders spectacularly to land on Belgian defenses in 1940, while the British employed them to land soldiers in their effort to win a bridge over the Rhine at Arnhem in 1944.
