C-47 "That’s All, Brother"
Many of you probably know about the C-47 "That’s All, Brother", the C47 "which was the lead aircraft, Chalk 1 of Serial 7, and led the main airborne invasion on the eve of D-Day. She led over 800 C-47’s dropping over 13,000 paratroopers behind enemy lines in Normandy."
There is now a documentary on Netflix, well worth watching. https://thatsallbrother.org/ https://www.planeresurrection.co.uk/thats-all-brother

What is interesting is that this C47 was restored back to June 1944 spec as much as possible (I saw some modern instruments in the cockpit). It is the CAF's most historic aircraft, out of the 150+ they operate.

I just looked it up on Netflix to confirm my suspicions, and indeed: that has also been shown last year or so on … not sure anymore, either Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel or History Channel (in Europe, no idea about North America or elsewhere). In any case, when I saw it on there I thought it was well worth watching.
