June 6, 1944 - Normandy
Sunrise on D-Day was full of revelation. For most paratroopers, this was the farthest they’d been from home. And here was the enemy. Among these German POWs, Pvt. Don Malarkey meets a sergeant who had lived in Portland, Oregon. And Don was from Astoria, 70 miles away. And they had even worked across the street from one another. Don’s...

One of Robert's early, classic masterpieces depicts an Avro Lancaster returning from a night-time raid over Europe. Badly damaged by enemy anti-aircraft fire with its port outer engine stopped and its starboard outer overheating, the pilot is struggling to maintain height and make it to the English coast as the morning sun rises.
