About the C-47A: “That’s All, Brother” (Named by its D-Day crew as message to Adolf Hitler)
“That’s All, Brother” was the C-47A troop carrier aircraft that led the Airborne Invasion on D-Day,
June 6, 1944, carrying 101 st Airborne Division paratroopers into France. “That’s All Brother” also
served in Operation Dragoon, Market Garden, the Relief of Bastogne, and Operation Varsity. After
the war, the aircraft was sold as surplus. In 2007, it was discovered by a historian in a boneyard in
Oshkosh, WI. In 2015, the CAF rescued the aircraft and began the restoration. A successful
fundraising campaign raised over $3 million to restore “That’s All, Brother” to its original D-Day
configuration.
