Last year an iconic piece of history was discovered lying in an aircraft boneyard in Wisconsin. It was the Douglas C-47 “That’s All, Brother” — the airplane that led the massed paratroop drop on D-Day.
The Commemorative Air Force reports it is in the final stages of acquiring “That’s All, Brother,” noting the C-47 will be a “star within our fleet, due to its historic significance.”
“We plan to acquire and restore this airplane to its original configuration and furthermore; it will become a touring educational experience in the future,” CAF officials said.
The good news is that the majority of funds are in place to acquire the airplane, due to the generosity of an anonymous CAF Colonel.
But CAF still needs to raise $75,000 by Aug. 31, which is why it is launching a Kickstarter campaign.
