Storied Aviation
A Legacy of Flight
AVIATION • HISTORY • PEOPLE
Every Aircraft Has A Story
Behind every aircraft is more than aluminum, fabric, rivets and horsepower. There are people who designed, built, flew and maintained them—and sometimes entrusted their lives to them.
Storied Aviation explores that legacy through photography, history and the people who keep these aircraft flying.
From warbirds and vintage aircraft to the airplanes still writing new chapters today, Storied Aviation is about discovering what lies beyond the photograph—and preserving these legacies for the next generation.

That’s All, Brother
The C-47 that led the airborne invasion of Normandy carried more than paratroopers into history. Decades later, That’s All, Brother is still flying—and still revealing the stories of the people who once climbed aboard.
The Empty Seat
A small plaque beneath an empty seat aboard That’s All, Brother carries the name of Maj. Raymond S. “Chappie” Hall. He was a chaplain who believed that to serve paratroopers, he needed to become one of them. On June 6, 1944, he left this seat behind and stepped into the darkness over Normandy.
