Wreckage of a glider, 1944

Photograph by Frank Tomlinson, 74th Field Regiment, Royal Artillery, World War Two, North West Europe (1944-1945), 1944.

The wreckage of Waco Glider 'B5', registration number 277647, sits in a field. It has seemingly had a rough landing during insertion, as much of the tail section has come away from the frame. A soldier poses sitting on the wing, and another glider can be seen in the background.
