Berlin Airlift (jun 26, 1948 – sep 30, 1949)

Description:

Every day, thousands of tonnes of supplies were flown into west Berlin, with the rate reaching 1 plane every 90 seconds. This made the USA appear peaceful and generous, and the USSR appear aggressive and threatening, due to the Berlin Blockade.
