Operation Frantic
Operation Frantic was a series of seven shuttle bombing List of air operations during the Battle of Europe, operations during World War II conducted by American aircraft based in Great Britain and southern Italy which then landed at three Soviet airfields in Ukraine. The aircraft in Ukraine then flew bombing missions en route to their bases in Italy and Great Britain. Frantic was meant to open up new German-held areas of Europe to strategic bombing by the United States Army Air Forces, but instead saw only mixed results, with German leadership perceiving it as an American propaganda campaign to impress the Soviets. Frantic also highlighted significant tensions between the Allies of World War II, Western Allies and the Soviet Union, the latter of which proved both unfamiliar with and unfriendly to hosting foreign aircraft for joint operations. After a seventh bombing mission in mid-September 1944, Frantic was discontinued. Overview American plans to use air bases in the USSR beg ...

Frantic (album)
''Frantic'' is the eleventh studio album by English singer Bryan Ferry, released on 15 April 2002 by Virgin Records. The majority of tracks were produced by the team of Rhett Davies, Colin Good, and Ferry; David A. Stewart and Robin Trower also co-produced several tracks. Critical reception Tim DiGravina of AllMusic wrote of the album, "Some listeners might suggest that an album this varied has an identity crisis, but with hesestandout tracks as glorious as the Dylan covers and the Eno closer, ''Frantic'' is a fascinating addition to Bryan Ferry's accomplished discography." David Medsker of ''PopMatters'' stated that "''Frantic'' may play like a greatest hits album, with bits here recalling '' Boys and Girls'' and songs there echoing late Roxy, and it may rank in the middle to upper of the pack of his overall body of work. But it's the most cohesive album he's done in ages. Given how down and out he appeared to be, the fact that Frantic is more than half good is cause for joy." ...
