The Waco CG-13 was an American military transport glider aircraft developed during World War II.

Flight testing of the prototype was performed at Clinton County Army Air Field and the type was approved on 10 March 1943.

Ford Motor Company at Kingsford, Michigan and Northwestern Aeronautical at St. Paul, Minnesota built YCG-13 models [1] and were given contracts to build the production CG-13A.

The CG-13A gliders were not flown in combat in Europe but were used as transports in England and France.
