After a search I cant find any use of armor in airborne
assaults.I cant even find the carrier being used. The tetrach and the locust were both designed for airborne/glider assualts, but the Waco and Horsa gliders had a miserable fault of breaking apart when landing with near maxiumn loads destroying/or making unserviceable its load. There is some mention of the the Jeep and the 37mm anti tank gun being use in the Arhemn operation,although few made it. After WWll the only armor other than the locust that was light enough to be glider dropped was the Caffee, but by that time gliders had been dropped as way of operational delivery of armor. It was the glider that was the bust, the locust went out of service in 1947.Korea was a bad location for any type of glider operation Patrick My sources: Yahoo and Google Searchs Airborne armored assualts. Cmh(Center for militart History) US. Airborne armored assualts Should anyone have Any Information on this I welcome your comments. Last edited by Ponysoldier; 06-08-06 at 11:05. |
