Beschreibung
A moving middle-grade introduction to the true story of "Uncle Wiggly Wings" - the WWII pilot who air-dropped candy for the children of war-town Berlin. After World War II the United States and Britain airlifted food and supplies into Russian-blockaded West Berlin. US Air Force Lieutenant Gail S. Halvorsen knew the children of the city were suffering. To lift their spirits, he began dropping chocolate and chewing gum by parachute. What began as a one-time gesture of compassion turned into an official U.S. Air Force operation.
