The Berlin Candy BomberI recall well the time Bill Clinton was posturing about this hero. The einstein from Hope referred to Col.(Gail) Halvorsen as "she."

The “Rosinenbomber”, the Raisin Bombers is what the Berliners called the fliers. This came from the little boxes of Raisins pilots tossed out their windows flying it.
