About the Image(s)

We had a small air show here in Cincinnati a few weeks ago. The main aircraft to look at was a C-47 named That's All Brother.

Historical Significance:
D-Day Mission:
"That's All, Brother" was the lead aircraft of the main airborne invasion on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

It carried paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division, including elements of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment.

Piloted by Lt. Col. John M. Donalson, this aircraft led over 800 C-47s that dropped over 13,000 paratroopers into Normandy ahead of the beach landings.

Name Origin:
The name "That's All, Brother" was a personal message to Adolf Hitler, signaling that his reign was about to end.

Other Missions:
After D-Day, the aircraft participated in other major operations such as:

Operation Market Garden

Battle of the Bulge (resupply at Bastogne)

Operation Varsity (crossing the Rhine into Germany)

Shot with my Olympus EM1 Mark III with the 12-100 lens 590nm camera. 1/320 sec, f4.5, ISO 200. I made this in IR because I liked the dark sky and reflections from the rain. I cloned out a few people. Used Lightroom and Photoshop.
