	Poltava Dick McNatt. After protracted negotiations with the Russians, permission was granted for the USAAF to use Soviet airfields on shuttle missions. On the third such mission, the 8th Air Force dispatched 145 B-17s from the 3rd Air Division. Here, we see the 45th Combat Wing, with the 96th, 388th and 452nd Bombardment Groups arriving at Poltava. After the Luftwaffe bombing that night and Soviet bomb clearance the following day, only seven of the 73 arriving would be flyable. 24"x 20" print. #0007172 Price: $29.95 Add this product to your shopping cart
