	Berlin Air Safety Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Berlin Air Safety Center (BASC) came into existence immediately after the close of World War II and was one of only two Cold War, four-power organizations to ever exist, the other being Spandau Prison.
		Formed in the summer of 1945, the BASC existed until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
		Coordinating closely with BARTCC (Berlin Air Route Traffic Control Center) air traffic facilities at Tempelhof Airbase, the BASC representatives verified diplomatic clearances, protested Soviet infringements upon allied air corridors, and fielded the political ramifications of east bloc defectors escaping into West Berlin by stolen aircraft.

	Berlin Blockade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Berlin Blockade, one of the major crises of the Cold War, occurred from June 24, 1948 - May 11, 1949 when the Soviet Union blocked Western rail and road access to West Berlin.
		The French, U.S., and British sectors of Berlin were deep within the Soviet occupation zones, and thus a focal point of tensions corresponding to the breakdown of the U.S.-Soviet wartime alliance.
		The major Berlin airfields involved were Tempelhof, in the American Sector, Gatow and the Havel lake in the British and Tegel (built by army engineers in 49 days with the help of Berlin volunteers) in the French.

	Berlin Air Corridors - seeing the GDR up close
		Flights were under the management of the Berlin Air Safety Center, located at the Allied Control Authority Building in the American Sector of West Berlin (see the building and a discussion of its role in Allied Control Authority Building).
		The Royal Air Force announced that one of their jets would be in the corridors.
		The air mail flight in the still of the night was a reassuring nuisance as it roared over the flashing warning lights on the rooftops and balconies of apartment buildings adjacent to Tempelhof Flughafen.

	Berlin Blockade
		The Berlin blockade had its roots in 1945 and 1946 when the breakdown of the Four Power Allied Control Council rendered the reunification of postwar Germany impossible.
		On June 24, 1948, the Soviet Union blocked access to the three Western-held sectors of Berlin, which was deep within the Soviet zone of Germany, by cutting off all rail and road routes going through Soviet-controlled territory in Germany, and the Western powers had never negotiated a pact with the Soviets guaranteeing these rights.
		The three major Berlin airfields involved were Tempelhof, in the American Sector, Gatow in the British and Tegel in the French.

		He also argued that another major Berlin airfield was needed to support the proper use of additional planes and, in the event of hostilities, a large number of planes might be destroyed.

		The Berlin Air Safety Center was and still is one area where cooperation has continued over the years.

		McLaughlin, who flew 196 round-trips to Berlin, was flying a C-47 designated "Willie One" in a westbound block from Tempelhof to Wiesbaden when he heard a Wiesbaden controller clear another C-47 to hold at the same altitude over the same beacon.
		Phillips Davison concluded in his assessment The Berlin Blockade that the airlift had "changed people's attitudes toward the Western powers, raised their esteem for Western strength, and reassured those who were anxious."

	Berlin from the Air
		For many, their first view of the island city of West Berlin was from the air.
		While the agreements permitted us to fly over all of Berlin and its surroundings in a 20-mile ring, measured from the Air Safety Center, there were some constraints.
		The "helichoppers" as some Berlin GI's called them made regular landings on the field in mid-afternoons for their role in transporting Military Police to and from the tiny "island" suburb of Steinstuecken, an exclave of West Berlin that was at risk of being cut off by the ever more comprehensive Berlin Wall.

		In addition to the 60 or so soldiers on duty in or around the prison at any given time, there were teams of professional civilian warders from each of the four countries, four prison directors and their deputies, four army medical officers, cooks, translators, waiters, porters and others.
		This was perceived as a drastic misallocation of resource and became a serious point of contention amongst the prison directors, politicians from their respective countries, and, especially, the government of West Berlin, who were left to foot the bill and suffer from the lack of valuable prison space.
		The debate surrounding the imprisonment of the seven war criminals in such a large prison with such a large and expensive complementary staff was only heightened as time went on and prisoners began being released.
