"That's All Brother"

[fernytickles]

It's a great story about an extraordinarily valuable piece of WWII history.

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 (CAF) is a non-profit organization based in Dallas, TX. We need your help to rescue this proud old airplane!

Pity no-one thought to preserve one or more of the three Horsa gliders which landed at Pegasus Bridge prior to the paratoops' arrival.
