Country: | C.C, it would have to be another thread all to its own, but I will say it here the Berlin airlift changed the face of modern trasports. The US Air Force has some nice information on the operation, but I will only say that flying everything a city needs to survive on airplanes for over 400 days, that is an operation!
Now for transports that you might know more about, anyone hear of the 445th bomb group that resuplied Patton durring the bulge? This is the website I saw it under, but it is underconstruction, 445th-bomb-group.com
For you P-38 fans, have you seen this site, thaought it was a great story, www.thelostsquadron.com
