The Luftwaffe's legendary Gigant (Giant) is covered in this large,
detailed, and highly illustrated volume. Wherever the Messerschmitt
Me 321 appeared at the front during World War II it produced
tremendous astonishment. Most soldiers had never seen anything like
it. The huge glider with a wingspan of fifty-five meters was towed
by three Bf 110s, or a five-engined He 111Z. Such an aircraft could
carry up to twenty-two metric tons of freight: fuel, ammunition,
trucks, tanks, 100 fully equipped troops and more. Even the Me 323D
version, powered by six radial engines, was capable of carrying
thirteen metric tons of freight to the front - and was a juicy
target for the enemy. In the Mediterranean theater, they were
pitilessly chased from the air and bombed and strafed on the
ground. Only one Transportgeschwader was equipped with the Me 323.
Everything about the type was strictly secret - even the Gruppen
equipped with the type knew little about each other.
