The BerlinBrigade.com March 2013 Book of the Month is "Mercedes and The Chocolate Pilot" by Margot Theis Raven.
From Amazon.com: During the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949, Lt. Gail Halvorsen and his
squadron dropped over 250,000 candy-loaded parachutes and twenty tons of
chocolate and gum to West Berlin's 100,000 children. He received
thousands of letters from children, and only the most important were
translated and given to him for his personal reply. This is the true
story of a little girl named Mercedes, who waited anxiously for candy
drops from Lt. Gail, known as the Chocolate Pilot.
This book is written with the child in mind but Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot is a story of such historical value that everyone, of any age, will enjoy this wonderful story.
