The Berlin Air Lift
Actually, this is a continuation of our previous discussion, and covers both Germany more general, and the 1948/49 operation.
The questions we were looking to address here were:
- What were the logistical issues which confronted the RAF as the Berlin Airlift went on?
- Did the commissioning of new aircraft, such as the Hastings, ease the problem?
- Was the Berlin Air Lift related to the possible basing of nuclear-capable USAF bombers in Britain?
