Title: Airspeed Horsa

The Airspeed Horsa assault glider was used in many WWII airborne attacks, including the landings on Sicily and Normandy. The Horsa was a wooden high-wing aircraft, that could carry as many as 30 troops, or a jeep or a 6lb gun. The Horsa was sturdy and manoeuvrable, and over 3600 were built.

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