Berlin Airlift DVD cover.
Documentary (2008)
In June 1948 the Soviet Union blockaded Berlin, determined to drive the occupying Allies out of the city. The besieged city would be supplied entirely by air, for as long as it took to win the battle of nerves. This DVD tells the full story of one of the greatest achievements in aviation history.
