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.
