** U S A [and non]. RADIO WORLD - Sunday 27 June 2004 Gerry
Kercher
This year we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Western Europe from the occupation by Nazi Germany. Thanks to the British and American troops in the west, and the Russians in the east, our continent was freed of the infamous SS, Gestapo and other units of Hitler's occupation forces. Gerald Kercher, known as Gerry by his many friends in the shortwave listeners' world took part in the liberation of Europe. When the United States declared war on Japan and Germany, Gerry was 18 years old and became a pilot in his country's air force. I've known Gerry for many years and I'm now going to let you listen to an interview I had with the veteran pilot earlier this year. Gerry celebrated his 80th birthday this month, so this is the appropriate moment to let him tell us about the time he became involved in radio listening. Surely, radio was more important in those days than it is now.
