Capt Alfred Freiburger from St Petersburg, Florida: "I played myself in a movie"
Captain Freiburger is part of
the North East Air Command for the USAF, on his way to an assignment in
Newfoundland. Four years earlier, as 1st Lieutenant Freiburger, he
appeared in The Big Lift (1950), a drama about the Berlin
Blockade. The timely but fictional film starred Montgomery Cliff and Paul
Douglas. Dozens of military roles were played by actual servicemen stationed in
post-war Germany where the film was shot, using their real names.
