The documentary mentions this, and an interview with a pilot of a C47 Pathfinder is included. "That's All, Brother" was the lead aircraft of the main US airborne contingent.

What is interesting is that this C47 was restored back to June 1944 spec as much as possible (I saw some modern instruments in the cockpit). It is the CAF's most historic aircraft, out of the 150+ they operate.
