Berlin again fails to build a reasonable memorial for the late Candy pilot Gail Halvorsen. Instead of the planned monument, there is only a simple plaque. This is a great disappointment and Berlin should be ashamed of this handling.
After the death of Gail Halvsen last year, many parties, including the SPD, CDU and FDP, demanded a monument to the pilot who distributed sweets to the Berlin population during the air bridge. Although Halvorsen was modest during his lifetime to demand this, it was important to obtain the consent of his family and implement the promised honor.
