Great story. The fighter aces and bomber jocks can't take this one away from the transport guys - this was their victory.
Sure would have changed history if Gen. Clay had rolled across East Germany and the Cold War turned hot back in 1948. I wonder if Stalin would have backed down, or if we would have settled the fight right then and there.

In my uneducated opinion I agree with Patton, we should have kept on going and gone after Russia.
