The Berlin Airlift lasted for 327 days, beginning on June 24, 1948, and concluding on September 30, 1949. It was initiated in response to the Soviet blockade of West Berlin, during which Western Allies supplied the city with food and fuel via air transport. The operation successfully sustained the population of West Berlin and marked a significant moment in the early Cold War.
