Glider repair at Bricy

Units of the 50th Wing, which included the 439th, 440th, 441st and 442d Groups, moved to bases in France in Fall 1944, and were involved in recovering gliders from Holland LZs. This generally meant a glider snatch by a low-flying C-47. Here, two members of the Service Group attached to the 440th TC Group at Orléans, repair a CG-4A. Wonder how old these guys are?
