Students at Gilmer intermediate school were treated to a fly-over, and candy. Thundering warplanes flew over Gilmer in a history lesson for students on the story of a humanitarian effort that became known as Operation Vittles. “They actually landed the aircraft at Templehoff in Berlin and unloaded hundreds of aircraft daily with all the essential survival needs of the people,” said organizer and director of Flight of the Phoenix Air Museum, Steve Dean.
