What is the cartoonists opinion of the Berlin Blockade?

Since roads were blocked into Berlin, US & Britain had to airlift supplies to the city.

East and West Berlin and Berlin Airlift airports.

A miniature city is used instruct how the airlift will work and locations that will be used.

US Air traffic controllers directing the airlift

Pilots at Rhein-Main flew four round trips per day.

The limited load capacity of the C-47 aircraft necessitated that the much larger C-54s be added to the airlift as quickly as possible. A single C-54 was capable of carrying as much cargo as four of its older cousins.

Jewish Passover food arriving in Berlin.

Fresh milk being loaded on a C-47. Shipments of whole milk soon were dropped in favor of more weight efficient condensed milk.

One of the first planes to bring in supplies. Food had to be rationed as well. Two-thirds of a pound per day for employed persons and one-half pound for the unemployed.

A C-54 flies over a graveyard and perilously close to some apartments buildings while making its landing approach.

Remains of a Navy C-54 after a crash landing on the night of November 15, 1948.

Miniature parachutes carrying treats for the kids can be seen dropping from a C-54 as it comes in for a landing.
