Comment by @david on Berlin-Tempelhof International Airport, Germany:

From 1948-49, this airport was the command centre and destination of the Berlin Airlift -- nearly everything needed to feed, clothe, and warm 2.5 million people over 11 months through a cold winter flew in through Tempelhof, primarily in U.S. military C-47 and C-54 (DC-3 and DC-4) transports, with assistance from allies.
