Truman was the president of the USA during that period that first came up with the idea of the airlift and carried it through. Additionally, he introduced what is known as the "Truman Doctrine" which announced that America would do whatever possible to fight the spread of communism and free people who are resisting communist subjugation.
Stalin of course was still in power on the Soviet/Eastern side.
Winston Churchill was the prime minister of Great Britain.
Hope that helps! :)
