\JFlying Boxcar" to Pick Up Glider
At Bollina Base on Air Force Day
A 4,500-pound glider will be j
picked up and hauled through the
air by a Fairchild C-82 Packet
] during Bolling Air Force Base's big
Air Force Day celebration Satur
day.
•At Andrews Air Force Base, where
another free show will be held
similar aerial attractions and ground
displays are scheduled.
The Packet, or "Flying Boxcar,”
wili come to Bolling from Green
ville Air Force Base. Greenville,
S. C„ especially for the demonstra
tion, which is one of many spec
tacular events the thousands of vis
itors at the base will see without
charge.
They will note, in part anyway,
how a bit of the air war was fought
recently in this Nation’s struggle
against the'Japs and Germans over
the world. During the war, when
the heavier C-82 was not in use,
regular transport planes conducted
tneir airborne glider missions in
and over the rough mountainous
wilderness of New Guinea and be
hind German lines to evacuate
wounded and pick up supplies.
Advantages of Glider.
The C*-47 transport glider to be
pulled by the C-82 in the Bolling
operation is exceptionally advan
tageous in areas too small for take
off by powered aircraft. If it has
a cleared stretch of about 800 feet
it can easily be carried aloft from
small places.
Weighing two and one-half tons,
■this glider has a wing span of 61
ifeet. In normal combat, it can
carry a jeep and six men, or a
75-millimeter howitzer with a crew
I of six or seven soldiers to man the
gun when landed. It can haul 15
persons and a crew of two.
Trained glider pilots and crews
will be here with the C-47 glider
which is from the 316th Troop Car
rier Wing at Greenville. This unit
has a distinguished war record. It
participated in many major World
War II battles, including campaigns
in Libya and Tunisia, Sicily, Italy,]
D day at Normandy, the airborne
! invasion of Holland, the re-suoply
at Bastogne during the Battle of
i the Bulge and the final Rhine Cross
mg.
4-Ring "Flying Circus.1*
Another new attraction announced
for the big Bolling show, which wili
run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., will be
a four-ring "flying circus,’’ in which
model airplane builders representing
the Civil Air Patrol and the Bolling
Bolsa Bugs will participate.
Speedy flights by small jet-pow
ered models as well as speed, stunt
and formation flying will feature
this special event by model plane
flyers.
Four large circles, 100 feet In di
ameter, will be marked on the wide
concrete parking areas between the
base operations building and one
of the hangars at the base. Within
these circles the CAP boys and the
25 members of the Bolling Balsa
Bugs’ Club will display their con
structive ability and explain to the
thousands of spectators the intri
cacles of building the little air
planes.
Other Attractions Set.
Many other attractions are set for
the Bolling show. A big B-36 alx-f
engined bomber, largest type in the;
world, will fly over shortly after
noon. Just before that, two Super
Portresses will arrive after a non
stop 4,219-mile flight from Germany
Paratroopers will '’invade'’ Bolling,
as bombers fly over the District Air
National Guard fighters will take
the defensive role. Jet planes will
roar over the field, a pilotless plane
will arrive after a 1,000 mile flight,
the latest in photo reconnaissance
equipment will be shown, a turbojet
engine will be in operation, buzz
bombs and guided missiles will be
on display, commercial airliners will
be open for Inspection and dozens
of other attractions have been lined
up by Maj. Gen. B. M. Hovey, com
manding general, and his staff.
Parking accommodations for 25.000
autos will be free, and there will be
no admission charge to the show.
Special buses will be run to the air
base from tne city, anticipate ofj
