80 years ago today, men crossed the english channel to start the west advance that would end nazi-fascist tyranny.
"That´s All Brother" is an iconic airplane that had a major role in the D-Day; be the lead airplane of the 800 C-47s that dropped paratroopers behind the "Atlantic Wall", being a new aircraft fitted with the Rebecca / Eureka beacon finder, SCR-717C Navigational Radar, and the GEE Mark II navigational system installed to find the beacons installed earlier by the pathfinders and lead the way for other troop transport aircraft.
Somehow her importance was lost until military historians, among them Staff Sergeant Matthew Scales, found out that the aircraft that was considered to be the lead aircraft the "Belle of Birmingham" was incorrect, since the Lt. Col. John M. Donalson, commander of the 87th Troop Carrier Squadron, refused to cut holes and modify the airframe for the new equipment on the "Belle of Birmingham", so they pick a brand new C-47 and painted a sound message on the nose of the new aircraft; "That's All Brother" as a direct message to Hitler. So the correct aircraft was traced with little hope to be found, but she was found in Bassler Aviation yard waiting to be converted to a BT-67.
Bassler prompt agreed with the restoration and helped with their expertise to bring such important piece of history back to the skies in original collors. Now "Thats All Brother" flies in airshows and is part of the Commemorative Air Force fleet.
This version includes textures with cockpit, cabin, custom cargo, ground equipment and textures for formation flying.
