The film, "The Big Lift" is the only one that I know of to cover the US effort to fly food and supplies to West Berlin. Incredible work by Air Traffic Control to vector cargo aircraft thru the narrow corridor.

My Uncle Bob (Robert E. Blaschke) was flying coal into Tempelhof. He helped keep Berliners from freezing. Wish I knew how to attach a pdf
. He passed away several years ago: my Dad, Navy pilot, still with us at 99.pic.twitter.com/TpAyAgYGUU

What is the pdf about? Maybe we could help? You can't attach it, but you may upload it somewhere and add the link to your tweet.

A couple of years ago, took Dad flying around OKC, after Mom died. He needed to get out of the house. Hadn’t touched a control yoke since ‘46. Windy, and rougher than a badgers a** that day, but fun!pic.twitter.com/NttdOuzTsk

It seems....those who were willing to out wait the "cold war," (from it's inception) chose the right course, rather than "hot war(s);"...at least...so far! "Time heals all wounds!"
