The Response The Berlin AIRLIFT  The United States and the British Royal Air Force flew over 200,000 flights that provided 13,000 tons of food daily, for the next year.  In spite of this, by the spring of 1949 the effort was clearly succeeding, and by April the airlift was delivering more cargo than had previously flowed into the city via rail.  The success of the Airlift was humiliating to the Soviets.
