EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a moment of intense focus and determination during the Berlin Airlift of 1949. The scene takes place at the Headquarters of the USAF 85th Air Depot-Wing, located at Erding Air Base in Germany. In the foreground, two airmen work diligently on the massive propeller of a Boeing 377 C-97 Stratocruiser, their expressions conveying a sense of urgency and purpose. The powerful R-4360 piston engines of this military transport aircraft were a crucial component in the successful delivery of supplies to the beleaguered city of Berlin, which was surrounded by Soviet forces. The crane in the background adds to the industrial atmosphere of the scene, as the mighty C-97, with its distinctive curved wings and multiple engines, looms in the background, ready for its next mission. The C-97 Stratocruiser was a piston-powered airliner that saw both civilian and military service during the mid-20th century. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity, perseverance, and teamwork of the men and women who kept the airlift operations running smoothly during this pivotal moment in history.
