While certainly famous, this is, IMO, one of the US' and UK's finest moment that is fading a bit from, at least, popular knowledge. Everything can be deconstructed to self interest and snark - and there are no shortage of people willing to do so especially when it comes to US history - but, to me, what the US and UK did in The Berlin Airlift was both generous of spirit and impressive in logistic and technology in an awe-inspiring way.
I know what you mean about events that were once common knowledge, and now fading in the mists of time.
I served with an officer who was not aware of the Falklands war...
