Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In the summer of 1944, units of the Eighth and Fifteenth United States Army Air Forces began flying to and from bases inside the Soviet Union. Called 'shuttle bombing,' this operation, code-named Frantic, was ostensibly designed to hit targets throughout Nazi-occupied Europe. American planners, however, hoped to demonstrate the value of strategic bombing to the Soviets and, in the process, convince them to allow American units to fly against Japan from bases in Siberia. Beyond that, Washington hoped Frantic would bring the US and the USSR closer together. As a military operation, Frantic's impact on the air war against Germany was relatively insignificant; as a political maneuver, it was a dismal failure.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Fighting with the Soviets provides the first comprehensive look at Operation FRANTIC--an ambitious but doomed Allied enterprise that produced the war's only significant Soviet-American military venture and demonstrated just how complex and demanding coalition warfare could be. Using Ukrainian air bases, FRANTIC was designed to help deliver the knockout blow to the Nazi war machine, while minimizing the severe losses experienced by Allied air forces in daylight bombing campaigns over Germany. In theory, it allowed American bombers to reach targets deeper in Germany, divert Luftwaffe air support away from Normandy, and provide additional cover for battles on the Soviet's western front. American strategists also hoped that the operation would forge closer ties with the USSR and encourage the ever wary Stalin to provide access to Siberian air bases for use against Japan. Conversino, however, shows that things did not quite go as planned. After an early period of comradely euphoria, relations between Russians and Americans chilled amidst cultural differences and grew even icier in the wake of the Luftwaffe's decimation of Poltava airbase and Stalin's indifference to the Polish resistance in Warsaw. And, as the Red juggernaut pushed ever deeper toward Berlin, Stalin's support for FRANTIC faded altogether. Based on a wealth of published Soviet accounts and USAAF documents, as well as numerous interviews with American airmen, Conversino's study portrays one of the great "might-have-beens" of the war and shows how it fell victim to politics, swift victories on the battlefield, and clashing national visions. This text examines Operation FRANTIC, an ambitious but doomed Soviet-American warfare coalition. It was designed to help deliver the final blow to the Nazis, however, despite early periods of comradely euphoria, relations chilled amidst cultural differences and clashing national visions.
