Berlin Airlift : The Effort and the Aircraft : The Greatest Humitarian Airlift in History by Provan, S. John; Davies, R. E. G - 1998

McLean, VA, U.S.A.: Paladwr Press, 1998. Book contains 80 heavily illustrated pages. The first part of the narrative explores the political and economic circumstances that led to the crisis of May 1948, and it also takes a look at the situation as it probably appeared to the Soviet Union. To have a capitalist enclave within its jealously (and militarily) - guarded sphere of influence must have seemed somthing of an imposition in Muscovite eyes. In addition to pricture-descriptions of all the transport aircraft, U.S. and British, military and civilan, involved in the Airlift, this book has delved into the problems of logistics, on the ground as wella sin the air, and has not forgotten the human aspects, for example, the famous exploits of the Camdy Bomber and the Camel Caravan.
