Berlin Airlift

Record Group 342-G-25-70826 AC

Mounted on the rear of a truck, a jet engine from an F-80 Shooting Star is used in Berlin after a recent snowstorm to melt ice and snow from the wings of U.S. Air Force C-54's at Tempelhof Air Force Base. The hot blast from the engine quickly removed ice or snow from Berlin airlift planes, saving valuable time.
