Machines used to generate wind for training of U.S. Army pilots in tethered glider
Men drive four vehicle-mounted wind machines across a grassy airfield at a U.S. Army glider pilot training school in Lockport, Illinois. They line the machines side-by-side creating a broad current of moving air that keeps a tethered glider airborne. An Army officer pilot trainee is seen in the open cockpit of the glider, manipulating the control stick to maneuver the craft, as it is suspended by the artificial wind, approximately six feet above the ground. He is observed by a group of men standing near a hangar, in the background, and several Army officers in the foreground.

Scenes involving U.S. World War II CG-4A gliders
U.S. Army Glider operations in World War 2. Men set up two poles 20 feet apart on a field, for a so-called "Snatch" operation. (This involves a flying pickup, by an airborne tow plane, snatching the towline of a glider that is still on the ground. It is intended for glider retrieval. The actual operation is not shown in this sequence.) A C-47 aircraft takes off towards the camera, towing two CG-4A gliders. Close view from nearby airplane, of a glider being towed (its tow line visible).
