Speaking about civilian evacuations using either civilian/government/military aircraft.
Wondering if there’s been a civilian evacuation using aircraft in history where the aircraft came under constant direct attack. Stalingrad doesn’t count since it was almost entirely German combat troops, and the evacuations of Eastern Europe by Germany in 1944/45 were mainly boat lifts.
When I say direct attack I mean the aircraft regularly came under sustained anti-aircraft fire or fighter plane attacks or the airport was under direct assault at all times.
