The Work Horses Of The Sky | That's All, Brother
On the night of June 5th, 1944, a C-47 paratrooper aircraft, nicknamed That's All, Brother took off from England, heading in the early hours of June 6th, to drop allied fighting men into Normandy, to clear a passage for the tens of thousands of troops laying off the coast.
A chance discovery in 2015 led a scramble to save the aircraft, after standing for decades forgotten in a scrapyard. This documentary, 3 years in production, traces the incredible story of an American icon, its reconstruction & hazardous Transatlantic mission to honour America's fallen in Europe.

in 1969 i was assigned to the 6 th sos at pleiku as an a-1 crew chief. even though we were trained as skyraider mechanics, we also worked as the base aero repair and crash recovery team, working on our c-47, ec-47 and ac-47 acfts. the tail identifiers ,if i am not mistaken were EN, like the ones on 847. i have to go through my photo collection because that tail number and camouflage paint look familiar .
This is golden. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Very cool video
