May 1962 Platz der Luftbrücke and the Airlift Memorial, Berlin.
This memorial, which was built by the citizens of West Berlin to commemorate
the Berlin Airlift, stood at the entrance to Tempelhof Airport for many
years. It has since been moved to a special location at the end of the
Frankfurt Airport runways (whence many of the Airlift flights departed and
returned). Tempelhof Airport has since been decommissioned.
For a vivid portrait of the Berlin Airlift, see the film
The
Big Lift (1950).
