That's All Brother arrives at the Air Force Museum (April 20, 2021)



Drove out to the National Museum of the United States Air Force just outside of Dayton, Ohio to see the plane seen at left and above arrive today. It is "That's All Brother" which is a C-47 notable in that it was one of the planes that actually took part in the D-Day invasion by US and other allied forces to take back Occupied Europe from the evil Nazis. 

The C-47 was developed from the legendary DC-3 and was one of the most important aircraft of the Second World War for the United States. It was amazing watching this classic aircraft fly in today and enjoyed the visit a great deal.
