Berlin Airlift

General Sir Brian Robertson inspects the initial flights of Operation Bittles, a massive air supply effort by the US, Britain, and France to deliver 3,000 tons of food daily to Berlin. The operation faces challenges, including a narrow air corridor monitored by Soviet fighters. A fleet of 400 ships, some from Alaska, supports the effort. Soldiers and German civilians work tirelessly to ensure the food reaches the city, symbolizing the Western Allies' commitment to Berlin amidst rising tensions with Russia.
