Paratroopers at glider crash

Paratroopers rush to open the nose of a crashed glider. Paratroopers looked out from foxholes and road blocks, watched the gliders come in with open admiration. Every paratrooper vowed: "Never again will we point to a glider-guy and say, 'Look, Hoiman, no motors'. What those guys lack in horsepower, they make up for with guts."
