On the night 3/4 July 1944 a Handley Page Hali-fax Mk II cargo plane, belonged to the royal air Force 148. squadron crashed near the village Mezőcsokonya, Hungary. All eight crewmembers lost their lives. They flew a double coded mission, first to drop supplies to Yugoslavian partisans then to drop four secret SoE agents (Special operations Ex-ecutive) over Hungary. The agents would have had to set up an underground resistance group which could have helped and supported Hungary to leave the axis. almost twenty years of research making interviews with eyewitnesses and relatives, studying documents, and making investigation and field research for remains of the plane finally revealed the full and detailed story of the eight crewmembers, the four agents and their mission.
