One of the first books on Mikhailovich and the Chetniks is the late David Martin’s “Ally Betrayed”, published about 1947. Dave was also one of the creators of the committee that put up a statue to Mik in Wash. D.C. and to honor his and his forces for rescuing and repatriating over 400 Allied downed fliers, mainly Americans.

Time to correct the record.

David Martin was a tireless defender of Draža Mihailović for many years. George Putnam, an early conservative talk radio host, had him on his show in the late 1970's.

MadMax, unfortunately the statue honoring General Mihailovich, that the American airmen yearned for, never came to fruition. Due to pressure from various "groups" - the usual suspects - the final "approval" was never granted. I still hold out hope that the effort can be revived, even though most of the airmen are now gone, and that their descendants will see that dream become a reality.
