  • Operation Halyard
    Operation Halyard George Vujnovich led what has been called "one of the greatest rescue missions of World War II." He passed away of natural causes in New York City on 24 APR at age 96. Vujnovich orchestrated Operation Halyard, also known as the Halyard Mission, which rescued 512 airmen whose B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators had been attacked by Nazi Luftwaffe aircraft during World War II. He served as an agent for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a U.S. intelligence organization that preceded the CIA. Vujnovich orchestrated Operation Halyard in 1944, stealthily rescuing a group of U.S. airmen who were stranded in Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia during the final years of World War II. But those who don't know his name can be forgiven, as the story of Vulnovich's greatest triumph was kept under wraps for over 60 years. A book about Operation Halyard, called "The Forgotten 500," was written by Gregory A. Freeman in 2007. In 2010, Vujnovich received a Bronze Star Medal of Honor for his work. Despite these recognitions, there was relatively little public knowledge about this Pittsburgh-born veteran. Now, Vujnovich's death has occasioned new interest in his extraordinary story. George Vujnovich Lt. 1944 Vujnovich was born to Serbian immigrants in 1915. He traveled to Belgrade for university studies, where he met his wife Mirjana. When Germany bombed the city in 1941, Vujnovich witnessed the carnage in person. He and his wife decided to flee Belgrade. On their way to Bulgaria, an outlandish coincidence helped them make their escape.
