Candy Bomber: The Story of the Berlin Airlift's "Chocolate Pilot"

Candy Bomber: The Story of the Berlin Airlift's "Chocolate Pilot"
by Michael O. Tunnell

It all started with two sticks of gum. When U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Gail Halvorsen shared the only candy he had, two sticks of gum, with a group of children living in post World War II Berlin, it motivated him to do more for them by dropping candy from his airplane for the children of Berlin. Soon Lt. Halvorsen's efforts became famous, leading to numerous generous donations from many.

This was a wonderful book that shows how one person's generous idea grew to make a big difference in the lives of so many children!
