On 7 October l944, six B-17s flew a secret rescue mission to the airfield at Banska Bystrica, Slovakia. Major Ascani led the second flight of aircraft. Each airplane carried supplies and 12 OSS men when it took off as part of a larger mission to Ploesti. The six B-17s split from the main force. At the field, Slovak partisans unloaded the aircraft while the crews kept the engines running. Other partisans held off Germans a mere two kilometers away. When the airfield came under mortar attack, the aircraft, now loaded with high-ranking Czech officials and Allied evaders, took off and flew back to base. Major Ascani named his personal aircraft ""Snooney III.

The autograph(s) has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA for authenticity purposes.
