Description
Summary:From the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series, 1950-1975.
"In October, 1963, the largest trans-oceanic Army-Air Force deployment ever made was translated from blueprint into fact. This was "Exercise Big Lift"--A maneuver whose scope challenged military minds and fired the imagination of the entire country. Big Lift was designed to prove the U.S. military capability of quickly dispatching joint strike forces anywhere in the world. This week's episode takes the viewer every step of the way in this exciting peacetime military adventure."--National Archives and Records Administration.
