Answer:
Cargo planes delivered all food, fuel, and other essential goods to the people living in West Berlin during an eleven-month period of the 'Cold War' during 1948-1949. The Soviet communist forces closed all surface access (rail, road and river) and tried to isolate the American, British and French sectors of the city in an attempt to make it impossible for the Western governments to administer their portion of the city after Germany.
