The highly acclaimed BBC Radio 4 production.
It is 18 February 1943, and RAF Lancaster bomber WF 183 – call sign O-Orange – is about to set off on its final mission. It is a raid which will touch the lives of hundreds: the civilians in the small German town of Altgarten, consumed by blazing fire, and the crews, both German and British, men and women. It is a night of horror that few will forget: the story of the many men and women – British and German – whose lives were irrevocably changed by that night’s bombing raid.
When Bomber was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4, it was transmitted in ‘real time’ throughout the day, to incredible critical and audience response. The play blends dramatisation with actual reminiscences from men and women who were involved on both sides.
Bomber is a thrilling, action-packed and ultimately poignant story that will stay in the listener’s imagination for a long time to come.
