Berlin Air Lift Aims High With 6000 Tons Daily Through Winter
United States and British officials project an average of 6000 tons of supplies daily into Berlin this winter if the Soviet blockade endures. The U.S. Air Corps plans to use Douglas Globemaster transports in regular shuttle service from Westover Field Massachusetts to Tempelhof in Berlin. British engineers will lengthen the Ramstein field runway from 1500 to 2000 yards to boost operations. A ground controlled approach system promises safe landings even in low visibility. The air lift shifts to four engined C-54 masters and two-engined C-47s, each carrying up to ten and three tons respectively. Soviet air maneuvers over Berlin continue but are downplayed by Western pilots.
