The United States used the Berlin airdrops to transport food and commodities to Russian communist starved East Germans. The airdrops themselves were successful and a true show of force over the communists who were starving the people of eastern Germany. Whats more, this was a showing of the U.S.'s superior economy.
This being said, however, the airlift operation was very costly, and one plane was shot down.
