"Gail “Hal” Halvorsen, an Air Force pilot whose gesture of kindness during the Berlin airlift — sending tons of candy fluttering down from the sky to the city’s beleaguered children — endured in memory as a redeeming moment amid the aggressions of the Cold War, died Feb. 16 at a hospital in Provo, Utah. He was 101." WaPo
