Candy Bomber wants to fly over Baghdad


The pilot known as the Candy Bomber for air-dropping handkerchief-tethered chocolate and gum to the children of Berlin in 1948 wants to do the same for the kids of Baghdad.

''I'd give my right arm to do it,'' said retired Air Force Col. Gail Halvorsen. ''I've had the experience of the reaction of the kids on the ground. It's just incredible.''
