Speaker Series | The Berlin Airlift and You

What possible effect could a military airlift 75 years ago in Germany have on you today? Find out and join us in the Harrison Ford Theater to hear a Speaker Series presentation from Wings’ Curator Chuck Stout.

Whether you ride in an airliner, fly your own airplane, or never go near an airport, the amazing developments pioneered during the Berlin Airlift affect you every day. The enormous amount of food, fuel and other basics needed to sustain a city of two million people required a massive shift in thinking about how aircraft were flown, scheduled and maintained. These ideas transformed civilian air travel, improved air safety and found their way into solving the logistics problems for any organization that moves large amounts of cargo from one place to another.
