Can't get supplies from Fl to PR

21. The workhorse of the Berlin Airlift was the C-54 not the C-47

Not the C-47 although they used hundreds of C-47s as well.

A C-54s cargo capacity is around 32,000 ounces, so a big difference.

And at the start of the airkiftbwe have over 500 of them and several thousand C-47's and C-46's too.

We could probably still do it, but not nearly as easily. And in either case it took several weeks before they were moving cargo in the huge levels that made the airlift famous, they didn't go from zero to everything overnight.
