The Laister-Kauffmann LK-10A Yankee Doodle 2 was designed for training cargo glider pilots. Designated TG-4 by the military, 42-53060 was one of 150 delivered during WWII. All were withdrawn before the end of the war as the flight characteristics of the aircraft were so different to those of a cargo glider (better), the training was not that relevant. Many TG-4s were used by civilian gliding clubs and flyers post war. Donated to the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum in 2017, N54632 was restored to flying status by the Spring of 2018.
