Berlin Airlift
This video includes three films on the Berlin Airlift that began in 1948. The first film is a narrated Air Force documentary with historic photos and film footage. It includes interviews with pilots and ground crew. It also features an interview with Gen. Sterling P. Bettinger, who was chief pilot in charge of air traffic procedures. Documentation of the airlift includes "Black Friday," Operation Little Vittles and "The Easter Parade," which finally broke the back of the Soviet blockade. There are two other silent films, which include footage of flight line activity during the airlift at Templehof and Rhein Main air bases.

The Berlin Airlift
This is a brilliant news reel from that eternal source of smugness and 'polite society speak': The British Government Public Information Films Service. The accent of the commentator is pure Edwardian bliss, I love it! The video itself concerns the Berlin airlift of 1948-49 whereby following various diplomatic breakdowns, the Soviets under the leadership of the less than helpful Stalin had closed all surface connections between West Germany and Berlin. Located as it is in the East of the country this meant that the western powers would have to fly supplies to their troops and the citizens under their control in Berlin. Despite the levity of the commentator this was no mean feat - there were over 250,000 flights, more than 2 million tons of food was supplied and it cost the lives of 73...
