Entering service in 1935 the DC-3 was quickly adapted for military transport service and designated as the C-47 Skytrain. World War II saw high demand for the reliable C-47 with over 10000 produced. The C-47s played a key role on D-Day during the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord June of 1944.Thats All Brother led the formation of 800 other C-47s from which approximately 13000 paratroopers jumped on D-Day June 6 1944. "Thats All Brother" was chosen by John M. Donalson commander of the 87th Troop Carrier Squadron who flew the plane during the operation as a message to Adolf Hitler. It has been restored to its 1944 condition and is part of the Commemorative Air Force.
