- Because of the attack on Operation Frantic B-17s at Poltava, Ukraine the night before, the B-17s at Myrhorod and P-51s at Pyriatyn were moved farther east to be returned before departing to bases in Italy once the weather permitted. The move was fortunate as German bombers struck both Pyriatyn and Myrhorod during the night. ww2dbase [B-17 Flying Fortress | P-51 Mustang | Operation Frantic | Pyriatyn | DS]
