VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement showcases the critical role of B.F. Goodrich's de-icing equipment during the Berlin Airlift, an operation that delivered vital supplies to West Berlin amidst a Soviet blockade in 1948-49. The image features a military transport aircraft, likely a Douglas C-54 Skymaster, soaring above with its propellers and wings clear of ice thanks to Goodrich's technology. The text emphasizes how this innovation enabled pilots to maintain their crucial missions despite harsh winter conditions. It serves as both a testament to technological advancement in aviation safety and as historical documentation of one of the earliest large-scale humanitarian airlifts.
