Transport Pilots of WWII

Angus Wallace covers the unglamorous but critical role of C-47 Dakota transport crews — paratroop drops, glider towing, supply missions over the Hump and into besieged positions — and why flying unarmed at low altitude into hostile airspace demanded a different kind of nerve than fighter or bomber operations. At 37 minutes, it's focused and efficient. A properly done treatment of a logistical dimension of air warfare that rarely gets its own episode.
