Planesaves[0] is led by Mikey McBryan of Buffalo Airways[1]/ Ice pilots[2] fame and is restoring a D-Day DC-3 in a very compressed time frame. You can check out the YouTube channel[3] for updates. They aren't going to make Normandy but it's interesting following along taking a plane from a wreck to flying in a few months. He's doing a video a day which is impressive and helps capture the process.
