On 24 June 1948, the Soviet Union blocked all land and water routes into West Berlin. Until the blockade was lifted on 12 May 1949, the Western Allies flew about 278,000 sorties and delivered roughly 2.3 million tons of cargo, mostly coal and flour, for over two million people. Pilots who dropped sweets were nicknamed "raisin bombers".
