Combat history[modifier le code]

G-11s, along with Antonov A-7 constituted a majority of Soviet transport gliders. They were mainly used from mid-1942 for supplying Soviet partisans with provisions, weapons, equipment and trained men. They were towed mainly by SB or DB-3 bombers. Most intensive use was from March to November 1943 in Belarus, in Polotsk-Begoml-Lepel area, on the Kalinin Front. Several hundreds of Soviet gliders (of all types) were used in night supply flights then. After landing, gliders were destroyed and pilots were sometimes taken back by aircraft. In April 1943 there occurred the only event of taking off from a short provisional partisan airfield, when a famous glider and test pilot Sergei Anokhin evacuated two wounded partisan commanders (it was hauled by SB bomber piloted by Yuriy Zhelutov, on a 10-m short rope).

Gliders were also used to supply partisans in some areas in 1944 and to transport sabotage groups behind enemy lines. G-11 gliders were also used in at least one small scale airborne operation, the Dnepr crossing, carrying anti-tank guns and mortars.

Less typical action was an air bridge from Moscow to Stalingrad area in November 1942, in order to quickly deliver antifreeze cooling liquid for tanks, during the battle of Stalingrad.

G-11 was a successful design of a light glider. It had more capacity, than the other type Antonov A-7, and its transport compartment was better fit for cargo, although light guns could only be carried in parts due to small hatches.
