In this Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017, workers help at restoring a C-47 called "That's All, Brother," at Basler Turbo Conversions in Oshkosh, Wis. The plane, which was lost for 70 years and accidentally discovered by an Air Force historian at the Basler junkyard, carried the first paratroopers who stormed the beaches of Normandy during World War II. The group, Commemorative Air Force, started a campaign to restore the relic with hopes to fly the aircraft over Normandy in 2019 for the 75th anniversary of D-Day.(WLUK/Alex Ronallo, via AP)
