Candy Bomber
Col. Gail Halverson passed away at the age of 101. The human race was certainly better off because of people like him. RIP

Unfortunately many may not know who the "Berlin Candy Bomber" A.K.A. "Uncle Wiggly Wings" and "The Chocolate Flier" may he RIP, was, so for those here's a link to tell his story.

Gail Halvorsen - Wikipedia

I think I remember him from an episode of Great Planes-Wings...back when Discovery Channel was 'educational'. It was about the DC-3/C-47 and Berlin airlift...they interviewed one of the pilots and he was one of them.
