1948 - SG38 Glider landing.
After the Armistice had been signed in 1918, Germany was not allowed to have an air force. However gliding was not forbidden and this was a good way for pilot training to be undertaken. Several different designs were produced, however one of the most common was the Schneider SG38 glider. This was a development of earlier Zogling gliders and featured shock absorbers among other detail improvements. Many Luftwaffe pilots had their first experience of flying during bungee launches with an SG38 glider.
