         GLIDERMEN OF NEPTUNE, THE AMERICAN D-DAY GLIDER ATTACK

 Mr. INOUYE. Mr. President, I would like to bring to my 
colleagues' attention a book written by Mr. Chuck J. Masters entitled, 
``Glidermen of Neptune, The American D-Day Glider Attack.'' The book 
portrays the American soldiers who flew in the ``flying coffins'' of 
the D-Day invasions of Europe. Unarmed, these gliders carried a brave 
group of World War II soldiers known as glidermen. One of these brave 
soldiers was Senate President pro tempore Strom Thurmond. I commend 
this book to you so you may become better acquainted with Senator 
Thurmond's contribution to our Nation.
