00:04This is the story of the airlift, of the Joint Army-Navy Air Force effort, which is delivering
00:09to Berlin by air up to 90% as much freight as went by rail before the Russian blockade.
00:15To tell it, Warner Pathé News now rides the airlift with the U.S. Navy.
00:19It's one of as many as 900 flights a day, around the clock, and in any weather.
00:24Approaching Berlin, thick fog closes in. Visibility becomes zero.
00:32The cargo must go through. The pilot calls to a radar station at Temple Hop Airport.
