Description
In summer 1948, the Russians occupied all of Eastern Europe.
Behind Russian lines, the Allied-controlled part of the great city of Berlin stood as the lone Western outpost in a sea of Communist occupation.
Then the Soviets closed all Allied traffic through their zone, sealing off the food and supply routes on which the city relied.
A vast air armada streamed from Western airfields to supply the hard-pressed Berliners with food and necessities.
For over a year the Americans led a gigantic,and successful,effort to keep an entire city alive in the face of Soviet hostility.
This is a story of individual heroism and high brinkmanship politics, of daily life under appalling circumstances and great achievements against all odds.
