{"product_id":"german-gliders-in-world-war-heinz-mankau-9780764335198","title":"German Gliders in World War II: Luftwaffe Gliders and Their Powered Variants","description":"Gliders formed a special category of aircraft within the Luftwaffe. While other aircraft types were used for many years, as a rule gliders were conceived for short service lives, in some cases just a single mission. The purpose of the glider, most of which were built using the simplest materials, was to deposit soldiers and materiel behind enemy lines undetected. In this book the various types used by the Luftwaffe in World War II, and their development are described in detail - from military gliders for a few soldiers to large-capacity gliders capable of transporting tanks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinz Mankau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0764335197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764335198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.80w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 26","brand":"Heinz Mankau","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43925961965823,"sku":"9780764335198","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_db3029c8-52a5-4b3c-9a2b-293e78ede696.jpg?v=1681080380","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/german-gliders-in-world-war-heinz-mankau-9780764335198","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
