Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
Mark Bagley learned to fly at the age of 15. Eight years later, at the outset of World War II, he already owned and operated his own flying school. Exempt from the draft because of his job instructing U.S. Navy personnel in the use and calibration of steam ship instrumentation, he convinced the draft board to declassify him so he could volunteer for duty with the Army. Within a few short months, he found himself at the joystick of the U.S. Army Air Force's newest secret weapon: the glider. The G Stands for Guts tells the story of military gliders and the men who flew-and died-in them. From the invasion of Normandy to campaigns in Sicily and Germany, Mark Bagley flew, fought and survived using his wits, talents...and guts. In addition, he trained countless others to become glider pilots and received numerous commendations for his service.

Book Description
One day, according to legend (and more than a few WWII glider pilots), several power plane pilots were ribbing a group of glidermen about the "G" in the center of their pilot's wings. "What's that stand for? Greenhorn? Grounded?" "No," answered one of the glidermen. "It stands for Guts!" And so was born the glider pilot's motto-a true testament to a rare breed of courageous aviators. THE G STANDS FOR GUTS tells the story of military gliders and the men who soared-and died-in them. From the invasion of Normandy to campaigns in Sicily and Holland, Mark Bagley flew, fought and survived using his wits, talents...and guts. In addition, he trained countless others to become glider pilots and received numerous commendations for his service.
