A #dday tribute to my late friend, CBS correspondent Richard C. Hottelet. Here’s his radio report, filed after flying over the invasion beaches in a bouncing, low-flying bomber. He was met back in the studio by Ed Murrow, who had brought along a bucket in case Dick had to throw up.

He didn’t have to use it.

Also: a photo of Eisenhower’s order, authorizing Dick to cover the landings and their aftermath.

** Please be advised all RFF channels will be down for a few minutes shortly. **

Nothing bad, just care and feeding and some setup for what's next while also winding down the current pop-up channel.

Apologies to listeners but your great listenership means there is never really a time we can do such work and sadly not pause some vibes for friends.

Station music update will follow this work. In the interim please enjoy this thread.
