Eventually, the planes started to drop more than food and heating oil. At some point, the pilots saw kids and returned with something for them. Those men came to be known as "the candy bombers." They dropped candy for the children in their supply bags In Germany, have gone down in history as the "Rosinen-Bomber" (the "raisin bombers").

The guy who initially organized the Berlin Airlift was none other than Old Iron Pants, Curtis Lemay. Took him two days.

My Dad was a Flight Engineer on a C-54 during the Berlin Airlift, including the the Candy Bombing runs. Other than that He wouldn’t talk much about WWII.

I was stationed at Tempelhof 3/73 to 3/75. Lt. Col. Halvorsen was the base commander when I got there and I marched in his change of command ceremony when he left in 74 (February as I recall). Great memories.

Finally, on May 12, 1949, the Soviets realized the blockade was futile and lifted their barricades. The airlift continued for several more months, however, as a precaution in case the Soviets changed their minds.
What is the moral of the story?

the restored Doglass C-54, is parked near my hangar in Elizabeth City, N.C.. It was Coal, not Oil. This particular C-54 was used in the Berlin Airlift. As the modern group of caretakers were going through the aircraft, coal dust was found was found inside the belly areas underneath the floor boards. The aircraft logs & maintenance records also indicate it was used in those vital life saving missions.

... arrested in 1961 and released in 1975. Never had a trial, and forget about anybody reading him his Miranda rights. They don't do that in communist countries. A wet dream for our 'intelligence' thugs and goons... and Merrick Garland's filth.
