C-47B “Hit or Miss” is a bona fide WWII veteran with documented combat history in Operation Varsity. She dropped airborne troops, supplies, and ferried wounded from the battlefield.
We have restored the exterior to original WWII colors. The interior will be restored to an original WWII configuration and is currently in progress.
She will be flown to Normandy for the 75th anniversary of the Operation Overlord D-Day landings.
