The ''Candy Bomber'' who dropped sweets during the Berlin airlift has died at age 101
11:08pm, Thursday, 17'th Feb 2022 NPR
DENVER — U.S. military pilot Gail S. Halvorsen — known as the "Candy Bomber" for his candy airdrops during the Berlin airlift after World War II ended — has died at age 101. Halvorsen died Wednesday following a brief illness in his home state of Utah, surrounded by most of his children, James Stewart, the director of the Gail S. Halvorsen Aviation Education Foundation, said Thursday. Halvorsen was beloved and venerated in Berlin, which he last visited in 2019 when the city celebrated the 70th anniversary of the day the Soviets lifted their post-War World II blockade cutting off supplies to West Berlin with a big party at the former Tempelhof airport in the German capital. "Halvorsen''s deeply human act has never been forgotten," Berlin Mayor Franziska Giffey said in a statement. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox also praised Halvorsen, who was born in Salt Lake City but grew up on farms before getting his pilot''s license. "I know he''s up there, handing out candy behind the pearly gates somewhere," he said.
