The video discusses the role of troop-carrying gliders in reinforcing artillery during WWII, highlighting their damage but successful reinforcement. It covers Plexiglass's operations in France, including paratroop drops and support missions. The aircraft's involvement in the Battle of Bastogne and its civilian use in the U.S. are noted. It was restored for the 75th anniversary of the Douglas DC3's first flight, led by Clive Edwards, and returned to its original Air Force colors.
