As far as I know, there was no incidents during WW2 where airplanes were used to transport large amounts of non-specialised airborne troops.

German 5. Gebrgsjäger division at Operation Merkur (Kreta):

Since their eqipment was meant for transport by mulis
everything was "packable" into small units, which makes exceptional well formed troops for airlandings by glider.
Hence the participation in Operation Merkur by the 5.Geb.Jäger Division
