This April, BBC Audiobooks are releasing these two fantastic audiobooks onto CD for the very first time.
D-Day Despatches
This is a unique collection of original recordings from the BBC sound archives capturing history as it happened on the front line. Focusing on the largest sea borne invasion in modern history – and one of the world’s most tightly kept secrets, this CD brings together despatches from the BBC War Correspondents who witness the events first hand.
Journalists Robin Duff, Chester Wilmot, Colin Wills and Richard Dimbleby all reveal the courage of those who were part of the invasion and those who documented it. They bring reports from land, sea and air, as well as the Normandy beaches in this fantastic collection of recordings.

Bomber is the highly acclaimed full cast Radio 4 dramatisation, which tells the story of the final mission of an RAF Lancaster bomber in 1943. It is also the story of the many men and women - British and German - whose lives were irrevocably changed by that night’s bombing raid. Starring Tom Baker, Frank Windsor, Samuel West, Emma Chambers and Jack Shepherd, Bomber is an action-packed and poignant story that will stay in the listener’s imagination for a long time to come.
