A historical glider used by the USA to transport troops and stuff during WWII
(From Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_CG-4 )

The Waco CG-4A was the most widely used United States troop/cargo military glider of World War II. It was designated the CG-4A by the United States Army Air Forces,[1] and named Hadrian (after the Roman emperor) in British military service.

The CG-4A could carry 13 troops and their equipment. Cargo loads could be a 1/4ton truck (i.e. a Jeep), a 75 mm howitzer, or a 1/4ton trailer, loaded through the upward-hinged nose section. C-47s were usually used as tow aircraft. A few C-46 tugs were used during and after Operation Plunder.
