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.
