B-17G 42-97935 was transferred to the 452nd Bomb Group at Deopham Green on May 24, 1944. The aircraft was painted with its new unit’s markings and began flying missions. On June 21, B-17G 42-97935 was part of the Operation Frantic shuttle mission to bomb the synthetic oil plant at Ruhland, Germany, then continued east to land at Potlava, Ukraine, Russia. That night the Luftwaffe attacked the field, destroying many of the bombers. USAAF COLL./NARA
B-17G 44-6160 escaped total destruction; however, its port outer wing panel would need some attention. It did fare better than the 339th Bomb Squadron’s B-17G 42-102686 in the foreground, which burned out during the nighttime attack. USAAF COLL./NARA
