Operation Vittles doubles airlift effort to Berlin
The Allies plan to double the Operation Vittles relief mission delivering food to Berlin. In the first month U.S. air forces logged 25,393 flight hours hauling 32,000 tons of supplies, with about 20 percent at night and nearly 25 percent in bad weather. Mechanics inspect a plane at Frankfurt as crews monitor the sortie tally.
