Laister-Kauffmann TG-4A

Laister-Kauffmann built the TG-4A in response to an urgent U.S. Army Air Forces requirement for a glider to train assault glider pilots. The TG-4A was a military version of the Laister-Kauffmann Model LK-10 Yankee Doodle two-seat soaring glider. Laister-Kauffmann delivered the first prototype XTG-4 in late December 1941; the company delivered the first production aircraft in July 1942 and completed the last of 150 TG-4As in June 1943.

The fuselage of the TG-4A is made of fabric-covered welded steel tubing while the tail is made of fabric-covered wood. The internal wing structure is wood with the forward one-third of the leading edge covered by plywood and the remainder covered with fabric. The TG-4A, like other early USAAF training gliders, was not an ideal trainer because its flying qualities were very different from cargo gliders. While the TG-4A could soar (and even gain altitude under the right conditions), cargo gliders could only descend with a small margin for error, especially when fully loaded. Student glider pilots normally received about six hours dual instruction in a soaring trainer before flying the larger and heavier CG-4A cargo glider.

The TG-4A suspended from the ceiling of the World War II Gallery was donated to the museum in 1980 by Frederick A. Tietzel and placed on display in 2003.

TECHNICAL NOTES:
Crew: Two (instructor pilot and student)
Weight: 875 lbs. loaded

Schaut man sich in Eisenach um, stößt man schnell auf die Industriellenfamilie von Eichel-Streiber - so auch hier. 1889-1892 ließ Friedrich Eduard von Eichel-Streiber diese Villa auf dem Pflugensberg errichten. Die Pläne arbeiteten die Architekten Ludwig Neher und Aage von Kauffmann aus, die Bauausführung lag bei dem Eisenacher Architekten Hermann Hahn, zu dessen Werken zudem die Neue Synagoge und der Turm der Georgenkirche in Eisenach zählen. - Die Villa verfügt über eine Wohnfläche von ca. 3000 m2, verteilt auf ungefähr 90 Zimmer.

Die Villa samt großem Park wurde 1921 von der Stadt Eisenach, später von der evangelischen Kirche gekauft. Seit 2017 befindet sie sich im Besitz einer ominösen Stiftung unter dem Namen "Kultur und Denkmal Stiftung Brenner" (sic!) und schlummert kaum genutzt vor sich hin. Die Brenners haben rund um die Villa Schilder mit der Aufschrift: "Unbefugten ist das Betreten verboten! Zuwiderhandlungen werden strafrechtlich verfolgt!" aufgestellt.

Robert C. Kauffmann (1900-1999) was born in Chicago, Illinois. Not much is known of his early life, but Kauffmann excelled at commercial illustration. He had several notable advertising campaigns in the 1920s and 30s, including for The Red Cross and Mallory Hats, which caught the eye of “The Saturday Evening Post.” He painted five covers for the Post between 1925 and 1938. Eventually, he began teaching commercial illustration at the Murray Art School in New York City.
