Development

[edit]

The LRH was a twin-hull amphibious glider capable of carrying 24 troops. Two XLRH-1 prototypes and a static test airframe were ordered in April 1942, with Bureau Numbers (BuNu) 11649/11650. Production aircraft were ordered as LRH-1 with BuNus 31586/31635, but the contract was cancelled before the first aircraft was completed.[1]
