The Candy Bomber

Watch for my new informational book.  The working title is The Candy Bomber:  The Story of the Berlin Airlift's Chocolate Pilot.  It is about the U.S. Air Force flyer, Lt. Gail Halvorsen, who dropped candy to sugar-starved children in West Berlin, Germany, using small parachutes.  This occurred during the massive airlift of food and supplies into wor-torn West Berlin after World War II.   The book will be published by Charlesbridge in 2009.
