Operation Little Vittles survived because of the donations of candy, cloth for parachutes, and hours of volunteers to fly the planes. Many recipients of the many parachutes even returned the cloth - a scarce commodity at the time - to the U.S. Air Force so they could be reused on future drops. Did this goodwill and generosity surprise you? Why do you think, in a time of struggle, so many people were able to work together?
