How One General & One Lieutenant Won the Cold War’s First Battle

Описание: In 1948, Stalin thought he could starve West Berlin into submission by cutting off every road and rail line. He didn't count on one thing: the power of logistics and the sheer will of engineers.

In this video, we analyze the Berlin Airlift as a massive industrial project.

The Architect: General William H. Tunner, who turned a chaotic flight path into a high-precision assembly line.

The Maverick: 2nd Lieutenant Gail Halvorsen, the "Candy Bomber," who understood that hope is just as vital as coal.

We look at the math behind the "90-second landing" rule and how the Allies managed to deliver more coal by air than most countries move by train. This isn't just history—it's a blueprint for solving the impossible.

What, Where and Why: We analyze history as a complex blueprint, where great events are large-scale projects, and personalities are their main architects.
