Airlift pilot Gail Halvorsen is a legend, especially for older West Berliners: Between 1948 and 1949, he and other "raisin bombers" supplied West Berlin, which had been sealed off by Soviet troops, with food and coal from the air. A few weeks ago, the 100-year-old's family in the U.S. announced that he had contracted Covid-19.
Now the news from Gail's daughter Denise: My father is doing well and has largely overcome the effects of the Corona virus. All the best.
