C-47 “That’s All, Brother” High Top Canvas Shoes
This design is inspired by the C-47 “That’s All, Brother” (87TCS/438TCG) Serial number 44-86292. “That’s All, Brother” led the formation of 800 other C-47s from which approximately 13,000 U.S. paratroopers jumped on D-Day, June 6, 1944, the beginning of the liberation of France in the last two years of World War II. It was named by Lt. Col. John M. Donalson, commander of the 87th Troop Carrier Squadron, who flew the plane during the operation, as a “message to Adolf Hitler” that Nazi Germany’s days were numbered.
The aircraft currently flies with the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Central Texas Wing.
