Review by Felix Santiago (posted on 20-May-2008)

Underrated and almost unknown. Shown on PBS during the 1990s as a Saturday night "special". The story of the Berlin Airlift and actually filmed in Berlin. Begins in Hickam AFB, Hawaii, home of a C54 squadron. Monty looks great and doesn't have that worn down look that he suffered from in later years. The film shows us that the partitioned Berlin was a center of Cold War intrigue and that the Russians were creeps that couldn't be trusted. Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue!
