WWII story of the rescue of downed Allied Aircrew from Yugoslavia by the American OSS and Partisan groups....using C-47 Transports landing on a hand cleared airstrip.
Very little notice was given for the gallantry of so many who risked their lives to see to the safe return of so many airmen.
It also discusses the politics that existed that hampered the safe return of downed aircrew and the later Communist takeover under Tito which led to the arrest, trial, and execution of the leader of the partisan group that was so instrumental in the safeguarding and tranposrt of those rescued.
