Website Spotlight: Berlin Airlift


Website URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/airlift/

The parts of this website which I find particularly useful are the following:

I. The Film & More

In the "Further Reading" section, the suggested web links are especially well
chosen.

II. Special Features

All three features--Online Poll, Newspaper Accountd, and The Chocolate Pilot--
are worthwhile.

III. People & Events

Don't miss the sketch of Gail Halversen.

IV. Maps

These four interactive maps are the best part of this entire website.

V. Timeline

Wonderfully-detailed chronology with effective annoations of each date.

VI. Teacher's Guide
Make your choice from several wonderful suggestions.

On my Learning Professor wiki, this website fits within the following U.S.History survey course module:
