EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during the Berlin Airlift of 1949, as US Air Force (USAF) personnel work diligently on the tailfin of a Fairchild C-82A Packet at the Headquarters of the USAF 85th Air Depot-Wing, located at Erding Air Base in Germany. The C-82A, a piston-powered, twin-engine transport aircraft, was a vital asset in the airlift operation that supplied the city of West Berlin with essential supplies, bypassing the Soviet blockade of the land routes. The image shows two C-82As in the background, their propellers spinning in unison, ready for their next mission. The determination and focus of the Airmen in this photograph reflect the urgency and importance of the mission, as they ensured the continued flow of supplies to the people of West Berlin during this pivotal moment in history." "The Berlin Airlift, which lasted from June 1948 to May 1949, was a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Allied forces. The C-82A Packet, with its versatile design and reliable performance, proved to be an invaluable asset in the operation. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Airmen during the airlift, highlighting their dedication and commitment to the mission." "The C-82A Packet was a significant aircraft in the USAF inventory, serving in various roles until its retirement in the late 1960s. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role it played during the Berlin Airlift and the important role that transport aircraft continue to play in military operations today." "This image is a valuable historical document, capturing a moment in time during a pivotal historical event. It offers a unique perspective on the daily life of US Air Force personnel during the Berlin Airlift and the critical role that the C-82A Packet played in ensuring the continued flow of supplies to the people of West Berlin.
