Robert Lovett, who is listed above Clay and Robertson but otherwise unmentioned in the article, had nothing to do with the airlift. According to Clay biographer Jean Edward Smith, Lovett was part of an anti-Clay cabal at State, consisting of himself, Marshall and Kennan, who tried to replace Clay with Bedell Smith, in January 1948, but were blocked by Congress. On 24 June Clay was firmly in charge. The credit Lovett gets is spurious. Unless there's objection, I move to delete it. J M Rice (talk) 05:49, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Throughout the article, amounts of goods delivered by the Airlift are expressed in "tons". What are those? Are they short tons (2000 lbs./907.18474 kg)? Are they long tons (2240 lbs./1016.0469088 kg)? Are they metric tons (2204.622621848776 lbs./1000 kg)? That needs to be made clear, and whichever tons they are, they need to be converted to the other ones. Kelisi (talk) 06:10, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
