The Berlin Airlift was primarily led by U.S. Army General Lucius D. Clay, who was the military governor of the American zone in Germany, and British Air Marshal Sir Harold Salter, who oversaw the Royal Air Force's operations. Their coordinated efforts were crucial in organizing the massive airlift operation that supplied West Berlin with food, fuel, and other necessities following the Soviet blockade in 1948. The successful airlift demonstrated the commitment of the United States and its allies to protect West Berlin from Soviet influence.
