D-day veteran to be interviewed on radio

Mr. Locke piloted a C-47 in the first, pre-dawn waves of Allied planes June 6, 1944. In his first missions he dropped paratroopers from the 101st Airborne Division behind German lines in France. The next day he towed Allied gliders over raking machine gun fire from Nazi defenders. Throughout the war, he continued flying troop and supply missions almost daily until the Germans surrendered in May 1945.
