Title: Information wanted: Chase XCG-14 glider
Post by: Oceaneer99 on September 09, 2009, 11:35:40 PM
Does anyone have information on this glider, built in 1945?

Chase XCG-14

[source: AAHS]

It was featured in an article in Vol 52, no. 3 of the AAHS journal (which I haven't been able to get a copy of yet).

I did read somewhere that the wingspan was 71.8 feet, length was 42.8 feet.
