摘要：After World War II, the airplane was used as a means of transportation, humanitarian aid, and communication. It wasn’t until 1938, however, on the eve of the World War II, that the British Royal Air Force first used transport aircraft for the movement of troops between theaters of operations. Such activity would later be known as strategic air transport and played an important role in the movement and replenishuent of troops. The first and largest humanitarian aid operation in history, the Air Bridge for Berlin, occurred shortly after the end of that conflict.
