Col. Gail Halvorsen Award

The Colonel Gail Halvorsen Award is bestowed each year upon a member of the United States Air Force in the air transportation career field. In order to be eligible for this award, the individual must be an Active Duty, Reserve, or Nation Guard Air Transportation member. Further, the "Nominee must be performing Air Transportation duties that directly support airlift or tanker flying operations and/or personnel, demonstrate sustained excellence, and have exemplary conduct and character." The call message for award nominees also states that the individual must display an exceptional proficiency in air transportation duties, such as reducing process time of missions, the ability to adjust to extraordinary work duties, have the ability to solve problems in challenging situations, and provide self-improvement efforts.
== Background of Col. Halvorsen ==
Col. Gail Halvorsen served in the U.S. Air Force during World War II in the Atlantic from 1944 to 1946 as a C-47 and as a C-54 transport pilot. In 1948 Col. Halvorsen volunteered for the mission, Operation Vittles, which many may know as the Berlin Airlift. During this mission he flew the C-54 delivering food, coal, and necessary supplies to the citizens of Berlin, which was blockaded by the soviets. During this tour, Col. Halvorsen began his own mission, operation Little Vittles, in which he dropped parachutes containing candy to the children of both east and west Berlin. Thus, he was nicknamed the "Candy Bomber" and the "Chocolate Pilot." This act of compassion for the children of the blockaded city began the notion of humanitarian airlift.
