Drawing on service records and hundreds of interviews in the United States, Germany, and Great Britain, shares the stories of the World War II airmen who were once again called to active duty three years after the war ended to try and save the people of the western sectors of Berlin after Joseph Stalin had set up a blockade of the city hoping to force out the American, British, and French occupation troops.
