" Halvorsen, a World War II vet, gained notoriety when the U.S. pilots flew planeload after planeload of flour and coal to residents in Germany after the Soviet Union blockaded West Berlin. When Halvorsen noticed that the children didn't have any sweets, he began throwing small chocolate and gum attached to small parachutes out of the plane."
"From July 1948 to September 1949, Halvorsen and his successors dropped approximately 21 tons of candy on Berlin."

RIP, Colonel. Mission accomplished here on earth.
