I’ve seen some old photos of Templhof...looks like a huge “temple”
to the early age of aviation.
IIRC, after US occupation forces moved in, one of the first things done
was to set up a basketball court in one of the voluminous areas
inside the airport structures.
From 1985-1988 I was in charge of the control tower at Templehof. From the air, Tempelhof looks like a stylized eagle.
