Candy Bomber shares Berlin Airlift stories

Retired Col. Gail S. Halvorsen, also known as the "Candy Bomber," shows children at the Pope Air Force Base, N.C., school age program how to make a parachute attached to a chocolate bar, much like those he dropped from his aircraft almost 60 years ago. He also signed copies of "Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot," a book about a little girl living in Berlin during the Berlin Airlift. (U.S. Air Force photo/Ed Drohan)
