Re: French Airforce during Berlin Airlift 1948

Hans,

It appears that most French transport planes were engaged in Indochina by that time, but the FAF made some 424 flights to Berlin after all.

Contribution of the French military was (also) in getting Tegel Airport ready to accomodate the airplanes.

The whitish Junkers transports in Germany belonged to GT 3/15 ("Le Maine").

Regards,

Leendert
