In order to get the necessary number of gliders off the ground quickly for missions, the army experimented with pulling two gliders behind a C-47 plane. The lengths of tow lines were staggered to keep the planes from hitting each other, with one glider attached to the standard 350-foot line, and the other at 425 feet.
