The Heroes of Halyard

A narrative inspired by the largest single rescue mission of downed Allied airmen behind enemy lines in aviation history of all time, codenamed 'The Halyard Mission'. Set in the summer of 1944, it was led by the Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland under General Dragoljub 'Draža' Mihailović. At immense cost and sacrifice, the Serbian people saved 508 American and other Allied airmen from certain death, guiding them to safety from the improvised airfield in the Serbian village of Pranjani, at the foot of Mt Suvobor.
