Description

The McGill Glider Club flew this Zogling Primary Glider from 1933 through many minor crashes through to a final major damage incident in 1937. Some references call this glider a Northrup Primary. The Northrup design copied that of the Germany Zogling, and this particular airframe may have been from either set of plans.
