That’s All, Brother

Fly in That’s All Brother

From leading D-Day to returning to Normandy 80 years later—That’s All, Brother is more than a plane. It’s history in flight.

Ride on That’s All, Brother

Mission: Normandy

Over 80 years ago, on June 6, 1944, That’s All, Brother led the main airborne invasion of Normandy. Piloted by Lt. Col. John Donalson, the aircraft was at the head of over 800 C-47s, delivering more than 13,000 paratroopers into one of the most pivotal battles of WWII.

In 2024, the aircraft returned to the skies over Normandy to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day—reconnecting past and present in a powerful tribute.Built in Wichita and delivered to the U.S. Army Air Forces in March 1945, B-29 Doc joined the fleet just months before the end of World War II. In the years that followed, Doc took on new roles—including radar calibration as part of a squadron known as the “Seven Dwarfs,” and later as a target-towing aircraft.

After serving in D-Day and other major operations—Dragoon, Market Garden, Repulse, and Varsity—the aircraft was sold into civilian use in 1945. Its identity was nearly lost until two U.S. Air Force historians discovered it in a Wisconsin scrapyard.

The Commemorative Air Force stepped in to rescue and restore the plane. Thanks to generous donors and a dedicated team of volunteers, That’s All, Brother was brought back to life—fully restored to its 1944 condition, complete with its original D-Day paint scheme and interior.
