Berlin airlift. Although Russian aviation related only because of the era and location, the dropping of candy to the children of Berlin during the Berlin airlift is a story near and dear to my heart. I served under the "Candy Bomber" when he was commander of Templehof Central Airport, Berlin, in the early 1970s. And in 1999, I had the pleasure of speaking with him during a Memorial Day service near my home.
