Historic D-Day Plane Flying Into Lexington This Weekend

Listen The aircraft was named THAT’S ALL, BROTHER!, intended as sarcasm for Adolph Hitler by its captain, Lt. Col. John Donalson. The Skytrain was in its first combat mission on D-Day, leading 800 planes with airborne troops to support the largest amphibious operation in history. The plane served through the end of the war in Europe, including the airborne invasion of Germany called Operation Varsity. Sold into surplus after the war and flown by several owners, it was re-discovered in 2006 and its identity verified. The Commemorative Air Force, the operator of THAT’S ALL, BROTHER!, has restored the plane to render it “the most authentic D-Day C-47 on the planet”. In 2019, on the 75th anniversary of D-Day, it participated in a re-enactment with paratroopers jumping into the original landing areas in Normandy, France.
