"That’s All, Brother”, a C-47 Skytrain, part of the D-Day Squadron, travels past the empire State Building, New York City, New York, May 17, 2024. During World War II, "That's All, Brother", piloted by U.S. Army Lt. Col. John Donalson, commander of the 438th Troop Carrier Group, led a formation of 800 aircraft carrying over 13,000 Army paratroopers that were dropped behind enemy lines during the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Once on the ground, the paratroopers secured avenues of approach leading to Utah beach, one of the five amphibious landing sites during the operation, which prevented German forces from reinforcing their defenses during the subsequent assault by the U.S. Army’s 4th Infantry Division later that morning.
