The wreckage of a CG-4A Waco glider lies tangled in downed power lines in a snow-covered Belgian field, likely from the resupply missions flown to the besieged 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944. Gliders like this one braved harsh winter weather, obstacles, and enemy fire to deliver desperately needed supplies and reinforcements to American paratroopers holding the encircled town.
