Hi guys? Now you may be wondering, how did I upload this? Well, it's on my mom's phone. This aircraft led the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, and was found in a Basler conversion yard in Wisconsin. It is currently being restored by the CAF.
Discovered lying in an aircraft boneyard in Wisconsin, the Douglas C-47 That’s All, Brother was nearly unrecognizable. The lead airplane in the formation that delivered the surprise attack at Normandy 72 years ago, That’s All, Brother was in desperate need of caring individuals to help turn back the hands of time.
The Commemorative Air Force (CAF), in partnership with loyal supporters, has taken on the task of completely restoring this historic warbird to flying condition. It is CAF’s goal to return That’s All, Brother to the skies in time for the 75th Anniversary of D-Day on June 6, 2019 when she can take a commemorative flight.

@ACMECo1940 I'm thinking of a 3D print, I just don't know which model. Let me know how it turns out!
Yeah it's really cool but I think the cockpit is a little off. I think this will be my 3D print@DandruffCat
@ACMECo1940 this is beautiful! I love Douglas aircraft
