Charles L. Day

As a young boy, Wilmington, Ohio native Charles L. Day watched gliders and tugs from Clinton County Army Air Field, the Glider Branch Engineering Test and Experiment base from 1942 to November 1945. Charles is a graduate of The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio and retired after 35 years as a traveling salesman.

In 1997, Charles' interest in the WWII glider test base was piqued by the Director of the Clinton County, Ohio Historical Society. This renewed interest resulted in the publishing of Silent Ones, WWII Invasion Glider Test & Experiment in 2001 and the continued research of the various USAAF gliders. Charles and friend, USAAF Glider Pilot, Leon Spencer have collaborated in writing several papers concerning gliders.
