This is a list of printed resources for anyone else crazy enough to dig into the Berlin Airlift / Die Luftbrücke. I’ve purchased most of these second-hand, so there are enough copies out there if you’d like to build your own library. I will add more books as they are printed or I obtain a copy of them.
The 80th Anniversary of the Berlin Airlift is approaching in 2028-2029. This means a few authors will be releasing books on or about the time of the anniversary. I will add those titles as I get them.
