gliders sent behind front lines
Recently I read a book on the air war in North Africa! It mentions that the Luftwaffe sent two gliders behind the lines in Algeria on the last day of December 1942. The 2 pilots were captured! I think it was from the Med Air Wars C. Shores Vols 3. Could anyone shed any more light on this event! Was it a commando raid, recon or ........... and how many were involved?
