Operation Halyard. The Operation concieved by the OSS. The Operation was a rescue mission to rescue more then 500 Allied airman from deep in Yugoslavia. The Allied airman had to build an airstrip large and long enough for C-47s to land without being found out and with out any real proper tools. Here is an article on "Operation Halyard".
