Werner Demitrowitz 70, adjusts models of C-54 Sky master bomber airplanes on a scale of 1:144 in a reconstruction of the scene at Gatow Airport from which Allied pilots orchestrated the famous Berlin Airlift May 11. Demitrowitz assisted in building the runway at Gatow in 1947. The C-54 Sky master bombers which supplied West-Berlin with vital supplies such as food, fuel and scarce medicines helped to defeat the Soviet blockade in 1948 and 1949. U.S. President [Bill Clinton] will visit the reunified Germany on May 13 and 14, to mark the 50th anniversary of the American and British Airlift.
