Map at the Berlin Air Safety Centre, during the Berlin Airli
Photograph showing a large wall map of Berlin and its air corridors, in the Berlin Air Safety Centre, during the airlift of 1948. This centre was used to co-ordinate air movements between the four powers occupying Berlin (USA, Great Britain, USSR, France) to ensure to efficient and safe transit of airplanes. Between April 1948 and May 1949 Stalin, leader of the USSR, imposed a land blockade on supplies from Western Europe to West Berlin. In response the British and American governments organised an enormous airlift to supply food and other essentials to the 2.5 million inhabitants of West Berlin. After a year Stalin conceded defeat and lifted the land blockade
