Reel 1

0:00   Harry S. Truman is speaking about the Berlin Airlift.
    Harry S. Truman states that the Russians felt they should have a victory in Berlin. He felt they should not have a victory there, which caused the decision to fly in supplies over East Germany. "It was necessary that we do this in order to stand the Russians up."
    Unidentified voice says "scene 3, 20, take 1."
0:57   Mr. Truman states that the planes came from Alaska, California, Tokyo, Texas, and from a few of our allies. Every airfield in the country sent planes. Then "we had to wait for the Russian reaction."
