When did the Berlin Airlift take place?

The Berlin Airlift took place from June 24, 1948, to May 12, 1949. It was initiated in response to the Soviet blockade of West Berlin, which aimed to cut off access to the city for the Western Allies. During this period, the U.S. and its allies organized a massive airlift to supply food, fuel, and other necessities to the residents of West Berlin. The operation successfully sustained the city until the blockade was lifted.
