Local Serbian villagers risked their own lives to give refuge to the soldiers, and for months the airmen lived in hiding, waiting for rescue. In 1944, Operation Halyard was born. The risks were incredible. The starving Americans in Yugoslavia had to construct a landing strip-without tools, without alerting the Germans, and without endangering the villagers. And the rescue planes had to make it through enemy airspace and back-without getting shot down themselves. Classified for over half a century for political reasons, the full account of this unforgettable story of loyalty, self-sacrifice, and bravery is now being told for the first time. The Forgotten 500 is the breathtaking, behind-the-scenes look at the greatest escape of World War II. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Operation Halyard, 1944. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Search and rescue operations $z Yugoslavia. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Aerial operations. 650 0 $a Airmen $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Escapes $z Yugoslavia. 700 1 $a Lawlor, Patrick G. $q (Patrick Girard) $4 nrt 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/10756637 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781400125227_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20161103011627.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1F2F2478A18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
