Interesting point, glider borne troops did not receive extra pay that parachute troops did despite the fact that glider landing was somewhat more hazardous than landing by chute.

Your listing for the number of crew is incorrect as there almost alway was a trained co-pilot along. He may, as did some of the pilots, have joined the troops they carred into battle. The command pilot would try to return to base for futher missions. The glider would/could carry cargo as well as troops.
