Honoring the 50th Anniversary of the
First Victory of
the Cold War

Left side of the slide features German children climbing over the rubble
of war-ravaged Berlin, as a Douglas C-54 "Skymaster" plane flied overhead.
British and American flags symbolize their cooperative effort, while German workers
are shown unloading sacks of flour from an Allied plane. A banner to the left
features "Berlin Airlift Fiftieth Anniversary," with the dates "JUN
1948-SEPT 1949" to the rear of the slide.

On the right side, Douglas C-47 "Skytrain" transport planes
line up to unload their precious cargoes in Berlin's Tempelhof Airfields. One is
shown taking off above a banner that dramatically proclaims, "Blockade Ends -
'Airlift' Wins!"
|
 |
Featured on the top of the slide is a map showing the West
German airfields used by American and British planes, and the narrow corridors of airspace
they followed into the Soviet sector and the blockaded city of Berlin. |
