EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures a moment during the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949, as American aircrew intently study the Statistics Board at Frankfurt Airport. The board displays the daily and overall tonnage of supplies flown from Frankfurt to West Berlin, a testament to the massive effort underway to supply the 2.5 million inhabitants of the city with food and essentials. In response to Stalin's land blockade of supplies from Western Europe, the British and American governments organized an enormous airlift, flying in over 2 million tons of supplies in just under a year. The board's meticulous record-keeping reflects the meticulous planning and execution of this historic operation. After a year of intense aerial activity, Stalin conceded defeat and lifted the blockade, marking the end of this pivotal moment in Cold War history." This photograph, taken in April 1949, offers a glimpse into the daily operations of the airlift, with American aircrew carefully studying the statistics to ensure the successful delivery of vital supplies to West Berlin. The board's clear and concise presentation of data underscores the importance of accurate record-keeping during this complex and logistically challenging operation. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the determination and resilience of the Allied forces during a time of great adversity. The Berlin Airlift was a significant turning point in the post-World War II era, demonstrating the commitment of the Western powers to uphold their obligations to the people of West Berlin and to stand up to Soviet aggression. This photograph offers a unique perspective on this important chapter in history, capturing the intensity and focus of those on the front lines of the airlift effort.
