That’s all Brother walks along the White Cliffs of Dover in Europe in 2019. The C-47A aircraft was unearthed from a Wisconsin scrapyard in 2015 after two Air Force historians traced its tail number to the plane that led the D-Day raids on June 6, 1944. It will be on display at the Arkansas Air and Military Museum for Warbird Weekend in Fayetteville on August 3 and 4. (Photo courtesy of/Rich Cooper)
