The Berlin Airlift 1948 - 1949
Join Lt. Col (Retd) Derek Armitage to hear about the Berlin Airlift. The crisis started in June 1948, when Soviet forces blockaded rail, road, and water access to Allied controlled areas of Berlin. The United States and the United Kingdom responded by airlifting food and fuel to Berlin from Allied bases in Western Europe. The Operation would last a year and war was averted. This was the first major international clash of the COLD WAR between the Allies and the aggression of the Soviet Union.
