I saw this posted over on Aircraft Resource Center, and thought I'd share it over here, I figured people might be interested in the project.
It was posted that the Commemorative Air Force managed to find the C-47, "That's All, Brother", that led the airborne invasion of Normandy the night before the beach landings. And now they are doing a Kickstarter fund raiser to purchase the plane from its current owner, and restore it to flying condition to use for educational purposes. They also plan on having it ready in time for the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
Apparently they managed to exceed their goal of $75,000 US in less than 24 hours.
Here's a link to the Kickstarter, explaining what they're doing. I thought it was really cool.
