Project Sleighbells brought Christmas gifts from dependents of Vittles fliers from all parts of the world to Germany. In the foreground are some of the mail bags to be loaded and to the extreme left can be seen some of the C-74 crew members. At the extreme right are crew members of a plane which had just arrived from Alaska bringing in gifts for the project. The women and children are dependents of Vittles personnel from Brookley Air Force Base and Mobile, Alabama.
