The plane that spearheaded the D-Day invasion against Nazi Germany has been miraculously found in Oshkosh, Wis. "That's All Brother" was the name of the plane that led the D-Day invasion against Nazi Germany.
The plane was found vacant in a boneyard just weeks before it was set to be torn apart for scrap, according to CNN.
The plane received its name as a message to Hitler that his reign was coming to an end.
The plane also carried dozens of the force's 13,000 paratroopers and was ideal to lead because of its unique and sophisticated airborne radar.
The Commemorative Air Force, a Dallas-based nonprofit that restores old military planes and produces educational programs, believes that the plane can and will fly again. It has raised more than $350,000 to restore it via Kickstarter, according to Inquisitr.com.
"We still have a ways to go," said Stephan Brown, president of the CAF. "It's probably going to take a million dollars - a million and a half dollars - to totally get this airplane rebuilt from the ground up so it can last for 75 or 100 more years."
"That's All Brother" will have a showing at EAA Airventure. Workers were busy this week attaching new skin to the plane's nose, fixing flight controls, checking brakes and cleaning it out in anticipation for its reveal, according to Journal Sentinel Online.
