I could not find any info on this operation. Google searches bring up nothing on Operation Reunion. I did find this very disjointed account of Croatian retrivals and Opeperaion Halyard which was the evacuation of 417 men from Serbia. AMERICAN AIRMEN RESCUED IN CROATIA, BOSNIA AND HERCEGOVINA BY CROATIAN AND BOSNIAN PARTISANS IN WORLD WAR II http://www.croatia.org/crown/croatians/www.croatians.com/MILITARY-AIRMEN-PILOTS.htm Wiki Page: Operation Halyard, also known as the Halyard Mission, was an Allied airlift operation behind enemy lines during World War II. In July 1944, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) drew up plans to send a team to Chetniks led by General Draa Mihailović in the German-occupied Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia for the purpose of evacuating Allied airmen shot down over that area. . . 417 Allied airmen who had been downed over occupied Yugoslavia were rescued by Mihailović's Chetniks, and airlifted out by the Fifteenth Air Force. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Halyard

Thanks! Glad FDR was allowing US generals to go all out to rescue our military men and citizens, unlike Barry the ditherer.
