The Berlin Airlift was a major event during the Cold War where the Western Allies (US, UK, France) airlifted supplies into West Berlin to counter the Soviet Union's blockade of land access to the city. The blockade, initiated by the Soviet Union in June 1948, aimed to force the Western Allies out of Berlin, but the Allies responded with a massive air transport operation, delivering vital supplies like food, fuel, and medicine. This book tells of the British Contribution.
