EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the Map Wall at the Berlin Air Safety Centre during the Berlin Airlift of 1948. The Centre played a crucial role in coordinating air movements between the four occupying powers of Berlin - the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union - to ensure the efficient and safe transit of airplanes carrying essential supplies to the beleaguered inhabitants of West Berlin. In April 1948, Stalin, the Soviet Union's leader, imposed a land blockade on all imports to West Berlin, cutting off its access to food and other essentials. In response, the British and American governments launched an enormous airlift operation to supply the 2.5 million inhabitants of West Berlin with the necessities they required to survive. The Map Wall at the Berlin Air Safety Centre was instrumental in the success of this operation. The large-scale map, adorned with intricate air corridors and markings, allowed the various powers to communicate effectively and coordinate their efforts to keep the airlift running smoothly. The Centre's role in ensuring the safe and efficient transit of airplanes was crucial in the face of the challenging conditions, as the skies over Berlin were congested with constant air traffic. After a year of intense airlift operations, Stalin finally conceded defeat and lifted the land blockade in May 1949. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the determination and cooperation required to overcome such a significant challenge in the aftermath of World War II.
