Festive tribute for a new airlift record of the American and British pilots, at Berlin-Tempelhof airport in the west of the city. Within 24 hours and with 1,383 flights, 12,849 tons of food, coal, and raw material are brought to the blocked city, on 16 April 1949. Shooting date unknown. 50 years ago, on 24 June 1948, the USSR imposed a blockade on Berlin as a reaction to the currency reform. All land and waterways were blocked for passenger and freight traffic between West Berlin and West Germany. The supply of the West Berlin population and the western allied occupation took place by an airlift established by the USA and Great Britain.
