A little side light to the Berlin Airlift: in 1948 I was attending Indiana U 
and was a member of the AAF reserve. At a special reserve meeting there was a 
call for anyone who had 4 engine experience to volunteer for a "short term' 
active duty assignment. Only a few did. Turned out that this was a call for 
people before the Berlin Airlift was announced.
