The Daily News of Bowling Green, Kentucky published a great review under the headline: "'Candy Bombers' a heatwarming tale of love, war."

"Well-written, Halvorsen's story and the saga of the Berlin Airlift is presented against the backdrop of the domestic political scene in the U.S. and one of the most dramatic presidential elections in our history. The author is convinced that the usscess of the airlift was responsible for Truman's narrow victory in 1948.

"The Candy Bombers is narrative history at its best, well worth reading. It will inspire you because it was one of America's finest hours."
