Christmas from Heaven: The True Story of the Berlin Candy Bomber by Tom Brokaw is about U.S. Army pilot Gail Halvorsen, who “bombed” the poor children of Berlin with small candy parachutes following the devastation of World War II. “Because of his small idea, Americans everywhere began donating supplies, and the ‘Candy Bomber’ became a symbol of hope to all who yearned for freedom.” Various sizes, oil.
