Per saperne di più:

The Laister-Kauffman TG-4 was a two-seat training glider used by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. It was designed by John K. Laister and Lee Kauffman and manufactured by the Laister-Kauffman Aircraft Company in St. Louis, Missouri. The TG-4 was based on the civilian LK-10 Yankee Doodle glider, which had won several soaring competitions in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The TG-4 had a high-wing configuration with a fabric-covered steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings. It had a fixed landing gear with a nose skid and a tail wheel. The TG-4 could be launched by a tow plane or a winch. The TG-4 was used to train pilots for glider operations, such as towing, landing, and cross-country flying. The TG-4 also served as a liaison and observation aircraft in some units. The TG-4 was one of the most widely used training gliders in the USAAF, with over 1,000 units produced. Some of them were also used by the United States Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force. The TG-4 was retired from service after the war and many of them were sold to civilian owners. Some of them are still flying today as historical aircraft.
