The third of three GAL-56 gliders used to study tailless aircraft. TS513 had the most wing sweep of the trio. The crash of the first aircraft took the life of famed glider pilot Robert Kronfeld. As a result, the program was terminated. Photo from: Imperial War Museums This photo was added on 24 November 2024, and has since been viewed 334 times. |
