- Summary
- Planes of the US 15th Air Force have opened a new allied air front by creating a shuttle service from Italy to new bases in the re-conquered Ukraine. On the outward journey the B17s hit vital railway yards in Hungary. At Russian bases Soviet Air Force officials await incoming aircraft and one of the first Americans to set foot on the re-won Russian soil is C-in-C Mediterranean Allied Air Forces, General Baker. Russian women serve hot food, while the B17s are serviced and re-loaded with ammunition. The American air crews are entertained in an open-air theatre by Russian troops, before setting off again.
