para vs glider training edit
How did the glider troops training compare to the paratroopers with the 11th? I know the 511th was waved the 1st of 4 weeks at Benning, the physical fitness phase A, because observers felt they were fit enough to go straight to phase B. I read in "The Angels" that glider troops described basic at Camp McCall as "vigorous" while airborne training was described is "rigorous"; the terms definitely implicate by degree. Yet I've also seen, including in this article, that rigorous training was the standard division wide. Anyone know? Thanks.
additional source edit
The book The Glider Gang: An eyewitness history of World War II glider combat by Milton Dank (1977) [ISBN-13: 978-0397011612] would probably be an excellent piece of reference material for this article. Wingman4l7 (talk) 03:01, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Proposed merge from Air Landing Regiment edit
The general concepts are more comprehensively covered in the main article, while history of individual units can be covered in those units' articles. Ibadibam (talk) 20:26, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
- I wouldn't merge, but convert Air Landing Regiment to List of Air Landing Regiments. It would still need a summary and context content as well as a straight list of units. GraemeLeggett (talk) 20:50, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
