On 22nd June, 1943, the head planners of COSSAC instructed that the main landings for Overlord take place on the Caen Beaches, the object being to capture the Cotentin and the area comprising the Caen group of airfields. The initial landing was to take place during the hours of daylight, providing there was an increase in the number of ships, landing craft and transport planes. This is the story of the men who made that landing possible on June 6th, 1944, Operation Overlord - D Day, told by Dick Bowen, one of the first and one of the youngest to land on Gold Beach on that day, and Molly Burkett, historian and writer. Dick was born in Bradford, and enlisted into the East Yorkshire Regiment when he was fifteen. He completed his army career as Company Sergeant Major in the Green Howards in 1966
