correspondent for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) (jumped with the airbornes at Normandy

Berlin] |
On 3 February, 1945, BBC war reporter Guy Byam
was killed when a US bomber crashed after a daylight raid on Berlin. Byam,
26, was on board ‘The Rose of York' (named after Princess Margaret), a US 8 th
Air Force Flying Fortress. The plane was damaged by anti-aircraft fire over
Berlin and disappeared over the North Sea. In the early years of the war Byam
saw action with the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and Combined Operations but
was wounded and invalided out. He joined the BBC's War Reporting Unit in April,
1944. Two months later he parachuted into Normandy with British paratroopers on
D-Day and his reports made him a household name. A listener wrote after his
death: ‘All looked forward to hearing his enthusiastic and youthful voice in
the 9 o'clock news.' |
