Just saw a PBS special about Colonel Gail S. Halvorsen, or, "The Berlin Candy Bomber". He is 94 years old and believed in helping others before self.
Here is link to his web page. Some good interviews and pictures of his candy drops.
Halvorsen is affectionately known by Berliners and many around the world as as the Candy bomber ("Rosinenbomber"), Uncle Wiggly Wings ("Onkel Wackelflugel") and the Chocolate Pilot.

I don't understand why he is wearing RAF wings on the right side of his flight jacket.
