Military attaches of England, Canada and France, (L-R) Tom Paine, Tony Battista and Jean-Michel Meyer attend the 59th anniversary celebration of the end of the Berlin blockade at the airlift monument at the Tempelhof airport in Berlin, Germany, 12 May 2008. After 462 days the Soviets abandoned the separation of the three western sectors of Berlin from all access ways on 12 May 1949. Prior to this the Americans and the Brits had organised the legendary air bridge. From 26 June 1948 till 12 May 1949 they provided almost 2.5 million people with food and other goods solely by air.
