These two articles are close to identical - merger - yes! - Ahunt ( talk) 00:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Gents, this article should be renamed "WACO CG-4A" with a cross-reference to the Hadrian, as this aircraft was never designated as CG-4 by the USAAF. I have this from the USAAF official history of the procurement, which I've referenced in the article notes. Maclir2001 ( talk) 00:54, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
I visited the Silent Wings Museum in Lubbock, Texas today. This glider also delivered a small, Clark-built (Cleveland, OH) crawler tractor "bulldozer," weighing about 4,100 lbs. Perhaps the staff there can get their website operational and join us here for more official details. Later models of the glider had a "Griswold nose," which was more pointed (and structurally more substantial--and protective for the pilots in the event of a crash landing--which were very common), with the pull point for the tow rope being located in the center of the nose. The Museum might be able to provide construction details and photo, as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.66.94.2 ( talk) 03:49, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Why was it called "Haig"? Drutt ( talk) 11:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
After the war Haig was praised by the American General John Pershing, who remarked that Haig was "the man who won the war". [1] Mark Sublette ( talk) 01:19, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Mark Sublette Mark Sublette ( talk) 01:19, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
I keep coming across both Haig and Hadrian in reference to British CG-4s. Which was it? Or both? Can anyone come up with a reference that clears this up? Mark Sublette ( talk) 18:33, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Mark Sublette Mark Sublette ( talk) 18:33, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Article now makes no mention of Haig anywhere. Drutt ( talk) 06:28, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
Heinz (the food company) history page states:
http://www.heinz.com/data/pdf_files/Heinz_CSR_WEB.pdf " 1942 Heinz forms a War Production Division and employees, primarily women, are trained to make wings for airplanes, including the U.S. Army’s top-secret CF4-A Glider."
Is this an error, or points to a different glider model, or is CF4-A a variant of CG4-A? Shimada22 ( talk) 00:51, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

needs considerably more content on development, and the production effort, which was subcontracted to many companies with no experience in aircraft manufacture, and on operational use. M Van Houten 23:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC) |
