This Douglas C-47 was restored by the Great Lakes
Wing of the CAF to the colors of "the Black Sparrow."

of Europe on 6 June 1944.

This C-47 served as the jump aircraft for the 82nd Airborne Division's
All American jumpers, who carried the Canadian and U.S. flags during
the 2006 opening ceremonies. |
