The Berlin airlift was a significant effort by the United States, Great Britain, and France to deliver supplies to their sectors in West Berlin, after the Soviet Union blocked land access. The airlift lasted for 15 months in 1948 and 1949, and saw as many as 1,400 aircraft a day landing at Berlin Tempelhof airport. The blockade and airlift were one of the first major international crises of the Cold War.
