1999 Berlin Airlift 1948 - 1949 Crown PNC
On 25th June 1948 one of the most extraordinary episodes in recent history began - one marked by improvisation, nerve and heroism. Triggered by the Soviet blockade of the Western sector of Berlin, the West's unequivicol response ensured the survival of that isolated outpost of democracy. The Berlin Airlift was the first major postwar stand-off between East and West. The Royal Mail's Philatelic Label and the Royal Mint's Commemorative Medal salute the bravery and determination of the British American aircrews.


The Obverse design symbolises the continuous flights into Berlin.

The Reverse depicts planes being unloaded and prepared for the return flight.
