English: U.S. Air Force Douglas C-124C Globemaster II aircraft (s/n 52-1060 in front) unload their cargo at Phalsbourg air base, France, as part of "Operation Stair Step" during the 1961 Berlin crisis. Federalized Air National Guard units, equipped with F/RF-84Fs and F-86Hs, moved into five airfields in northeastern France where they bolstered NATO forces from November 1961 to August 1962 before returning home. Rhein-Main AB based C-124C visited Giebelstadt AB near Würzburg (northern Bavaria) in June, 1961. In the background (photo was not taken at Giebelstadt) the little town Saint-Jean-Kourtzerode with the chirch Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
Deutsch: U.S. Air Force Douglas C-124C Globemaster II, s/n 52-1060 im Vordergrund, entlädt Fracht auf dem Air Force Stützpunkt Phalsbourg air base in Nordost-Frankreich, als Teil des Unternehmens Operation Stair Step infolge der Berlin-Krise (Bau der Berliner Mauer) ab dem 13. August 1961. Die schweren Transportflugzeuge C-124 flogen in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren oftmals den Air Base/Flugplatz Giebelstadt an, so auch im Juni 1961 während eines über zwei Wochenendtage veranstalteten, öffentlich zugänglichen Armed Forces Day (Tag des Streitkräfte) der damaligen USAFE Air Base Giebelstadt. Das Foto ist (nicht in Giebelstadt) in Blickrichtung W-S-W aufgenommen worden, im Hintergrund die unmittelbar am Flugplatzgelände angrenzende französiche Gde. Saint-Jean-Kourtzerode mit der Kirche Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, dessen Kirchturm zwischen den Seitenleitwerken der beiden C-124C Transportmaschinen hindurchscheint, an einem offensichtlich grauen Herbsttag des Jahres 1961.
