Operation Chowhound. The crews would be dropping,
by parachute, food, not bombs. Relief for nearly five million
starving people in the Netherlands, still occupied by die-hard Nazis. As the bombers reached
the outskirts of Amsterdam, {\an8}they passed over fields
of brilliantly colored tulips. {\an8}In one of them, the heads of the flowers {\an8}had been clipped to say,
"Many thanks, Yanks."
