I think I gave you incorrect information before. my father IL was part of the airlift but he actually delivered mail several weeks before the official lift.
My husband said he would check the log books, but remembers hearing stories about a guy who tied chocolate bars to handkerchiefs and dropped them out of the airplanes before they landed.
Oh, a silly part was that my mother IL went into labor early with my husband and my father IL heard about it on his radio, so because he was flying a Douglas air craft they named him Douglas (really glad he wasn’t flying a Boeing)

Hmmm...it would not be much fun growing up and having to explain to EVERYONE why your name was Boeing.

That Candy Bomber would be Gail Halvorsen, "Uncle Wiggly Wings".
