Historic D-Day C-47 On Track To Return To Normandy
-
On June 6, 1944, a Douglas C-47A Skytrain named That’s All Brother led some 800 paratroop-carrying C-47s over Normandy, France, during what has been named the D-Day invasion — the beginning of the end of World War II. Like so many of the airplanes that served in the war, That’s All Brother continued its life in various civilian roles, and its name had been all but forgotten. About 10 years ago, the airplane was flown to Basler Turbo Conversions in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where it was slated for a major modification.
