Fred Clifton Berry, Jr. joined the U.S. Force in 1948 due to his interest in radio and airplanes. He soon found himself in Germany and in the middle of a major international drama - the Berlin Airlift. Berry tells us about the critical importance of quality air traffic control during that ordeal both in delivering goods and in protecting pilots from their Soviet adversaries.
Berry later left the Air Force and subsequently joined the U.S. Army. Years later, he was deployed to Vietnam with the 196th Light Infantry Brigade. Berry tells about his responsibilities as an officer and about his actions on November 23, 1967, as he worked under fire to rescue wounded American servicemen - an action that would earn him a Bronze Star.
