Re: Star Spangled Radio Hour - VE Day Special

Part 2 of the VE Day Special from Star Spangled Radio Hour does not unhappily include any Bing, but it's packed full of items of historical interest. - Broadcasts by Winston Churchill and President Truman, the British royal family, many American bands in special broadcasts. A fascinating historical compilation.

Re: Star Spangled Radio Hour - VE Day Special

Star Spangled Radio Hour have followed up on the earlier VE day broadcasts with the VJ day equivalent, the Victory Special of 15th August 1945.

Substantial numbers of the participants in the AFRS series of broadcasts were included, Bing hosts, and Ken Carpenter is the announcer.
