An odd request...

...I'm trying to find two short stories:

* 'D-Day' by Robert Trout (the famed CBS reporter). It's not about 6/6/44, but a much different D-Day.
* Unknown Title - A very, very well done story with a downright Serlingesque ending about the poor soul who's the caretaker at the mothballed sound stage where the Moon landings were staged.

My Google-fu here is weak, and I'd truly appreciate any help in finding these.

Mike

Ffs. I KNOW the second story, Mikey, but I’ll be damned if I can remember the name of it.

Neither sound familiar, but https://www.byanyothernerd.com/2014/01/ ... trout.html says the first is in Alfred Hitchcock Presents Stories for Late at Night edited by Alfred Hitchcock and Robert Arthur
which you might be able to get here
https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/st ... art-2-alf/
or try abebooks.

Need more clues for the sound stage one

I remember you sharing the second one YEARS ago, but my Google-Fu is no better today.

There is this footage of the planning for the Moon landing.
