Wow, was I impressed while listening to an interview with Gail Halverson talk about his life and his role as the Candy Bomber or wiggly wings during the Berlin Airlift this week. He is 90 years old ans still relatively fit. He told the story behind his motivation to drop candy using homemade parachutes to the children in Berlin just prior to landing during the Berlin Airlift after world war II (1948-49).
Quite inspiring!

Gail Halverson hat mich in einem Interview über sein Leben und seine Rolle als der Schokoladenflieger, Onkel Wackelflügel oder der Rosinenbomber während der Berliner Luftbrücke nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg (1948-49) wirklich beeindruckt. Er ist mittlerweile 90 Jahre alt aber trotzdem ziemlich Fit. Er erzählt in dem Interview woher er die Motivation bekam, vor der Landung in Berlin Schokolade-Päckchen an kleinen Fallschirmen zu binden und aus dem Flugzeug zu werfen.
Sehr beeindruckend!
