On June 28 the Berlin Airlift became one year old: for a year it had been going on every day, and for twenty-four hours of every day. This programme tells the story of that year: it deals with the blockade, its effects, and* its ultimate lifting. It tries to show how this unprecedented situation involved the lives of ordinary people, from the airlift pilot to the Berlin housewife
