Description

The McGill Glider Club had a rather convoluted history through the 1930s. It was most active flying the Zogling/Northrup glider shown here from 1933 through 1937, completing perhaps 1000 flights. After the Zogling was damaged beyond repair in 1937, the club obtained a Dagling primary glider and also a Slingsby Falcon intermediate glider.
