Retired U.S. Air Force Col. Gail Halvorsen, the famed “Candy Bomber” in the Berlin Airlift and Mercedes Wild, the subject of the children’s book “Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot,” share memories during a memorial service June 10, 2019, at Lucius D. Clay Kaserne airfield in Wiesbaden, Germany. Halvorsen and Wild formed a lasting friendship decades after the Berlin Airlift as Wild remembered Halvorsen as the man who gave her candy and other goods during the Berlin blockade.
