Halvorsen's collection was the first archive I visited as a grad student. I was stunned to meet the man himself in that library. Nothing will ever compare to that research trip, but I am elated to hear about this partnership!
This is Col. Gail S. Halvorsen, aka the Candy Bomber. We are honored to announce the FREE Candy Bomber collection on Fold3. We've worked closely with the Halvorsen family to digitize Col. Halvorsen's personal archives, representing a lifetime of service: f3.social/6y5i
