During its heyday, however, the glider was instrumental in not a few spectacular operations. Thus, it is not really surprising that some of the more iconoclastic military thinkers have, albeit infrequently, wondered whether there is not still a place for up to date gliders in modern warfare.}, number={3}, journal={Scientia Militaria - South African Journal of Military Studies}, author={Heitman, Helmoed-Römer}, year={2012}, month={Feb.} }
