The Candy Bombers were a group of American pilots who participated in the Berlin Airlift. The pilots flew C-47 Skytrain aircraft, which were nicknamed "Raisin Bombers" because they often carried raisins as part of their cargo.

In addition to food and supplies, the Candy Bombers also dropped candy to children in West Berlin. The candy was a symbol of hope and sweetness during the difficult time of the airlift. The children of West Berlin would often wait for the Candy Bombers to fly overhead, and would wave and cheer as the candy rained down from the sky.
