You're in luck, Syd.
Our own Jim Prosser has restored WWII gliders. He flies off Lenhardts in
the lush Willamette Valley in Oregon.
I do not have Jim's email top-of-head, but contact the Region 3 Director,
Joey Simpson:

Give `em my regards.

This is a strange subject to be talking about on the Ercoupe list, but maybe
some of you have some information or parts for me. I am heading up a
restoration project of a WWII WACO CG-4A invasion glider for a museum in
Iron Mountain, MI. The responsibility of my team is the forward 24' of the
fuselage. Other teams are doing the wings, the aft fuselage and the tail
structure. Since we started we've had people call who have parts stored in
attics, barns and garages that their
grandfathers purchased after the war and just left there. Please pass
the word around to your friends to find out if they have anything. We are
also looking for information about the details of construction.
Anything will be appreciated. I figure that this will be at least a 5 year
project. I understand that the Silent Wings Museum that used to be located
in Terrell, TX has moved to Lubbock, so I hope to hit that on the way home
from the Ercoupe Nationals.
Syd
