During the Berlin Airlift, American pilot Gail Halvorsen was moved to drop candy to the children of a defeated enemy, wiggling his plane's wings so they could recognize him. Children called him "Uncle Wiggly Wings," and candy contributions poured in from across America. This special edition of Halvorsen's 1990 autobiography commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift and includes a foreword by Academy Award-winning Schindler's List producer Gerald R. Molen.

  • Special 70th anniversary edition with a new foreword by Schindler's List producer Gerald R. Molen
