Col. Phil Heseltine, 931st Air Refueling Wing commander, speaks with retired Col. Gail S. Halvorsen, known commonly as the Berlin "Candy Bomber," Sept. 27, 2019, McConnell Air Force Base, Kan. During the Berlin Airlift Halvorsen dropped candy bars attached to parachutes made from handkerchiefs to German children watching the airlift operations from outside the fence of the Tempelhof Airport in West Berlin. The Berlin Airlift was a humanitarian airlift effort that broke the Soviet Union’s blockade of West Berlin, shattering previous airlift records. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Abigail Klein)
