Congratulations for this book. I, as a young boy, grew up in wartime England yet had no appreciation of the significance of the Airlift. Its place in history has been overlooked (why was this?) Your excellent telling of the story will go a long way to correcting this almost criminal oversight.

Best wishes, John M.

Dear Mr. Cherny,

I have just finished reading your book. Not only was I moved but, enlightened as well. I applaud your efforts in writing what, I believe, is a very readable history book--I couldn't put it down. To give you some perspective, I was born in 1940. I served four years in the United States military as a young enlisted man. I am reasonably well read, particularly with regard to WWII--since then I have lived current history, so to speak. Again, I will tell anyone who will listen that "The Candy Bombers" is certainly worth reading.

Prior to your efforts, I did know who Gail Halvorson was but probably not in the context as you described it--Masterful!

Thank you!
