MESA, AZ — A secret World War II mission that rescued more than 500 U.S. airmen is being kept alive in Arizona.

At the Commemorative Air Force Museum in Mesa, one family is sharing a deeply personal connection to the daring Operation Halyard.

The story highlights the bravery of Serbian civilians who risked everything to save downed pilots.

Craig McKee got a glimpse into the history, and sacrifice, ahead of a weekend at the museum meant to remember those involved in it.
