The Berlin Airlift.

Your teacher will be surprised if you mention that the "Candy Bomber" (Gail Halvorsen) sacrificed his own candy rations and would drop them out of his airplane for the poor German Children.

Rosinenbomber (Rasin Bomber),

Onkel Wackelflügel (Uncle Wiggly Wings),

Der Schokoladenflieger (Chocolate Flier)
