KingSargent Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Allied planes operated out of Russia on a couple of occasions. US bombers flew to Poltava after bombing targets in Eastern Europe that were too far away to make a round trip from England. They refuelled in Russia and went home. On one of these trips, the Luftwaffe caught the B-17s on the ground at Poltava and shot up about 60, IIRC. 617 and 9 Sqdns RAF based in Russia when they flew the "Tallboy" raids on the Tirpitz.
