Candy Bomber: The Story of the Berlin Airlift's "Chocolate Pilot" by Michael O. Tunnell
This is an important topic that everyone should know. The actual black and white photographs and letters are very impressive. What also impressed me is how modest Gail Halvorsen comported himself. There is good reference material at the back of the book. This would make a great read aloud for families or classrooms. This story for children in Grades 4-7 is so impressive that you really might want a harder reading challenge. Look for Gail Halvorsen's own book published in 2002 - The Berlin Candy Bomber.
You will be so impressed that that this World War II veteran is still alive. IMPRESSIVE
THANK YOU Lt. Halvorsen
