The British Horsa Glider

This is part one of a two part presentation on the British Horsa glider which was prepared for the US National WWII Glider Pilots Association Symposium, held in September, 2026. The presentation was tailored for a US audience (hence some of the weights and measurements used), and includes information and previously unseen images of Horsa gliders being evaluated in the U.S. If you would like to find out more about the Horsa, Hotspur, Hamilcar or the Hadrian (CG-4A), or the Glider Pilot Regiment, then please visit our Patreon page www.patreon.com/thechalkcollection for a small monthly fee you get access to a huge amount of information relating to the use of military gliders in airborne warfare. Thank you.
