In 1948, the Soviet Union cut off Berlin from Western Europe, hoping to starve the citizens and force them to give up their freedom. The British and American pilots of Operation Vittles gave them hope. SSgt John Archiquette takes us to Frankfurt, Germany, where one pilot returns to the nation that gave him his nickname: the Candy Bomber. (Social Media Version)
