After Lt. Halvorsen’s colonel finds out about the candy drops, he said, “Keep flying, keep dropping, and keep me informed.” Why do you think the colonel supported the drops, even though Lt. Halvorsen didn’t get permission?

The US Air Force liked the good will and publicity that Operation Little Vittles created. It would help people think of Americans in a friendly way, and the colonel thought that was a good thing like Halvorsen did.
