December 31st 1948 - Landing of the 100,000th aircraft of the Berlin Air-Bridge

 

December 31st 1948: The 100,000th aircraft of the allied airlift lands in Berlin. For the Western part of the city, blocked off by the Russians, it was a joyous record. It also brings hope, that Berlin will withstand the pressure from Moscow, and not be cut off from the western world. For the Allies the airlift proved a special challenge. Overall, they delivered 2 million tons of relief supplies, and for that covered 60 million kilometers. At last, in May of 1949, the Soviets relented. The airdrops had overcome their blockade, goods and passenger traffic was rolling again.
