It features a win span larger than a Lancaster four engine bomber and requires a heavy bomber to tow though it can fly independently in a flat calm. Early in the invasion one Hamilcar glider silenced a German gun by treating it as its first target, while another destroyed a tower where German troops had hidden observing positions.
