As of May 2016, US Air Force Colonel Gail Halvorsen is still alive.

Known as Rosinenbomber (Candy Bomber), one of the things he was known for was dropping improvised parachutes full of candy out for the children in Berlin during the Berlin Blockade. He used his own candy from rations, and got donations from his friends. The children would often send the parachutes back with pictures and notes attached.
