        This source is filled with primary sources in the form of actual CIA documents from the               time of the Berlin Airlift.  I plan on using information from the documents in my research.            They mostly detail the proceedings of West-Soviet negotiations and diplomacy at the                   time of the Airlift.

        This site has provided me with general information to help introduce me into my topic.                I plan to not use very much information from this site and instead get in from other                        sources.

        URL:  http://www.spiritoffreedom.org/airlift.html

        This site has provided me with general information which helped me get orientated with              my topic.  I will use this source instead of Wikipedia for general information about the                Berlin Airlift.

 

3.     Parish, Thomas. Berlin in the Balance. Reading, Massachusetts: Addison Wesley,                       1998.

        This book is filled with in-depth information about the cause for the Berlin

        Airlift along with the Airlift itself.  This book will be a major contributor to my                           research.     

 

4.     Haydock, Michael D. City Under Siege. Washington D.C.: Batsford Brassey, 1999.                     This book is also filled with in-depth information about the cause of the

        Airlift along with information about the Airlift itself.  However, this book will be a                     smaller part of my research as I find the writing style of Berlin in the Balance easier to               discern information from.

 

5.     Schuffert, John H. Airlift Laffs. Washington D.C.: Air Force Times, 1949.

        This source is filled with newspaper comics drawn during the airlift.  It showed me the               general mood of people who worked in operations for the Airlift.
