Thanks for the article about the new memorial to Tuskegee Airman Carl J. Woods Jr. at Mars Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7505.

Your readers might be interested in story from the book “The Forgotten 500” by Gregory Freeman. It's about hundreds of airmen who parachuted into Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia when their airplanes were shot down en route to oil fields in World War II.

Local farmers risked their own lives to give refuge to the airmen, who eventually returned to the USA through a high-risk rescue operation.
