A group of Berlin children try to express their appreciation to Lieutenant Gail S. Halversen, the orginator of "Operation Little Vittles," for the thousands of packages of gum and candy he and his friends dropped over Berlin in tiny parachutes.
Miniature parachutes can be seen dropping from Halvorsen's C-54 as he brings the plane in for a landing at Tempelhof.
Halvorsen's bunk becomes a factory for miniature parachutes weighted with Lyons chocolate bars.
