(2) 4-6 American pilot Gail Halvorsen, along with his fellow servicemen, delivered candy to children in post-WWII West Berlin--dropping the treats from their bomber planes. Copious photographs and reproductions of letters bring the children's gratitude to life. By beginning with these personal stories, Tunnell piques readers' interest in learning more about the conflict between the Soviets and the Germans, information provided in later chapters. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
