Summary

U.S. Air Force retired Col. Gail S. Halvorsen, right, the Berlin Candy Bomber, observes as Master Sgt. Christopher Swartz, left, 821st Contingency Response Squadron aerial port flight chief, displays his name on a plaque in recognition of his legacy as the Berlin Candy Bomber, Jan. 31, 2020, Travis Air Force Base, California. The 99-year old war hero shared his amazing story with the Airmen and as a tribute to his legacy, he was inducted into the squadron's "Super Howl" hall of fame. The Super-Howl was initiated by the squadron as a way to recognize military veterans who visit their unit and have played an important role in the nation’s history. The squadron displays this honor on a plaque at the unit where they add the name of the inductee next to the operation he or she served in. (U.S. Air Force photo/ TSgt Liliana Moreno)

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
