RIP Gail Halvorsen

[lini]

A really sad loss: Gail Halvorsen, one the many heroes of the Berlin Airlift, has died - though at least not too soon, aged 101 years. May he rest in peace.

And while I'm not a Berliner, nevertheless my hat is off to him as well as to all the other, less well known Americans for their selfless help during the Berlin Blockade, which won't be forgotten.

Greetings from Munich!

Manfred / lini
