This exceptionally rare and historically significant piece of WWII history is an original fragment of metal from a Douglas C-47 Skytrain aircraft that played a pivotal role in the D-Day invasion on June 6th, 1944. This specific aircraft was part of the fleet that carried the brave soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division into Normandy, a mission that would become one of the most defining moments of World War II.

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain, known for its reliability and versatility, was a workhorse of the U.S. Army Air Forces during the war. This aircraft was integral to Operation Overlord, where it dropped paratroopers behind enemy lines, helping to secure key objectives that paved the way for the Allied invasion.

The 101st Airborne Division, famously known as the "Screaming Eagles," made history with their heroic actions on D-Day. Their courage and determination were instrumental in the success of the operation, and this piece of history from the very aircraft that carried them into battle serves as a tangible link to that momentous day.

This display would make an extraordinary addition to any WWII or aviation collection.
