"Includes DVD of Tom Brokaw with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square.". Christmas From Heaven is the story of the humble beginnings of what became a beacon of hope to a war-torn land, the story of Gail Halvorsen, a young pilot in the US Army Air Corps who was assigned as a cargo pilot to the Berlin Airlift, in which US forces flew much-needed supplies into a Soviet-blockaded Berlin. One day he offered the children gathered at the airstrip two pieces of gum. From that small act "Uncle Wiggly Wings" or "The Candy Bomber" was invented. This is the story of one man's desire to be a beacon of hope to those German children in a bombed-out city. 20140106. Halvorsen, Gail S Juvenile fiction. Mormon Tabernacle Choir Juvenile fiction.
