- 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! www.thatsallbrother.org
I just brought my kids to see her here in Oxford, CT before she leaves for Normandy. Everybody there was fantastic. The best part was seeing the spark she lit in my kids eyes. Certainly left an impression. Bravo Zulu.
My great grandpa jumped out of this plane
Wonderful work you guys are doing. I own C 47 Serial number 13541, registration markings ZS-CAI. Let me know how I can help. I have an entire warehouse of engine spares

Awesome... what a great project! God Bless America!
USA Paratroopers salutes this project. Airborne!
As soon as I saw that beautiful airframe i started to cry
me too
The most amazing airplane ever built, a combat warrior queen of three wars. It would be wonderful if we had a veteran of Korea, and I believe the ship was named "Spooky" from Viet Nam, together at once. As a FA for EAL during the 70's, it is interesting that I literally hated our DC 9's, most of my "mechanicals" were on a DC9! So glad you saved her!! All hail the Queen!
I live near where she was located and have been following her progress. Good job guys she looked great at EAA I am so happy she is finally getting taken care of it was always disheartening seeing her at Baslers.
See you in France 2019.
She'll be there. 😇
Oh man I saw it in Alabama on Saturday it was amazing a unforgettable moment
Beautiful.
I understand the mission of the CAF . It's a beautiful thing that they have saved it from the scrap man . But he belongs in the Smithsonian
Need to restore more WW2 planes
i won't be able to help pledge funds
good luck that's all brother may you fly again
I live in Wisconsin... Where was this plane found in my state? Amazing to have a treasure like this under my nose for so many years, without having a clue. :/
