Title: General Aircraft Hamilcar

The General Aircraft Hamilcar was a WW2 heavy glider designed to transport the heavy equipment required for advance assault forces. It could transport a light tank such as the Locust, or two Bren-carriers.

To maximise value, this title includes the flight manual (titled pilot’s notes) for the Hamilcar plus flight manuals for two other British WW2 gliders, the Horsa and the Hotspur. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
