B-24 over Brod, there is no need for you to repeat the
stuff and details already given by the other,period .

If you are referring to this topic:

Please note that I added information that 7 crew members were rescued by partisans, based on their Escape statements.

Your claim given in this post

is not correct for following reason:
- First evacuation in Halyard mission was on August 9. Three months after you claim it happened.
- There were no chetnik units in that area (Slavonia), nor source that airmen were rescued by them.

So, if you on one side claim that you have list of airmen rescued during Halyard mission, and on other side you don't know when first evacuation was, I can really doubt your claim.

I made pretty complete list of airmen rescued from Yugoslavia. For most of them I have MACR (lot of them were not made), and for some 80% I have escape statements. With combination of those two documents, with other sources, I believe that I listed more than 98% of Americans rescued from Yugoslavia (missing 2% is my estimate).

Regarding chetniks: I have found documents for almost every airmen rescued during Halyard, found other that were rescued apart from that mission, others that were handed over to partisans, and some cases where airmen were given to Germans.
Overall, I know all about making such list.

So, once again, how did you made your list?
