This thread reminded me of something. A week or so ago I was watching an old WWII movie and saw a recovery of a Waco type Glider by a C-47, done much like the recovery method in "Green Berets". I was surprised to see the method in a '44 or '45 war movie.

Turns out it was the "All American System" and it was used by the military as early as '43 and an earlier system used in the '20s for mail.
