Acquired in 2005, this C-47 Gooney Bird Cowl Flap was originally NOS Military Inventory.  During the restoration of this Cowl Flap the dicision was made to paint the door flap in the colors of the C-47 transports that dropped paratroopers in Normandy, France during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944.  In August 2008 while visiting the Seattle Museum of Flight, Flightline Fabrications owner Bryan Heim had the rare opportunity to have Band of Brothers 506th  members Don Malarkey and Buck Compton sign the cowl flap, making it a truly one a kind item!
