Judge, what was that about an ohka?

And that glider looks great, so does the cockpit.

Do you know if the C-47's would be piloted or automatic? If they are piloted how would you prevent people from just piling into the C-47? No parachutes or another way? Also, would the pilot of the C-47 or the glider pilot control the release of the glider? thx.

Of course, I admit I'm getting my info from films here, but I had the impression gliders were a British baby.

Or not?
You're thinking of a Horsa glider

CG-4A was first used by US in Sicily invasion 09 July, 1943. 129 Hadrians and 8 Horsas were launched in Gale force winds with disastrous results, 50 landing in the sea.

Hadrians were also used in Burma, Operation Overlord, Operation Dragoon, and Operation Market Garden.

But my info also says the Brits never used their Hadrians operationally.

Typical load was 13 troops(that includes pilot and co-pilot), or a jeep and crew of 4 plus equipment, or a 75mm Howitzer with 3 man guncrew and ammo and supplies.
