It's Your Risk Reds Told on Corridor Plan
The United States warned the Russians that their planes would operate at their own risk if they carry out instrument maneuvers along the western air corridors to Berlin crowded with Allied transports. An American spokesman said the U S would not yield to Soviet orders to inspect automobiles leaving the blockaded city. Moscow announced daily instrument training flights near Berlin airfields without notifying the safety center, while Major General Hall noted no details on aircraft type or start, but flights would be from dawn to 10 400 feet. The move could endanger allied pilots and aim to halt mass food airlifts to Berlin, as Washington pledged the airlift would continue. Separately, the Russians protested against the conduct of air security rules, in letters to American and British officials.
