Galați Airport
Galați Airport () was an airport located in Galați, Romania, that operated from 1926 to 1958. History The operations of the Galați Airport started on 24 June 1926. At the time, Galați had high relevance for the Kingdom of Romania, both because of its port on the Danube and for being regarded as an important crossroad between Muntenia, where the Romanian capital Bucharest was located, and Bessarabia, which belonged to Romania at the time. On 6 June 1944, during the Allies' Operation Frantic, the Galați Airport was heavily bombed. 98% of its buildings, facilities and vehicles were destroyed, thirteen soldiers were killed and the airport was left nonoperational. After the war, it continued to be used until 1958 when the Galați Airport was abolished on the premise of being ineffective and inducing a loss of money. In recent years, there have been efforts between the Brăila and Galați counties to achieve the construction of a new airport in the area serving both Brăila and Ga ...

Operation Frantic
Operation Frantic was a series of seven shuttle bombing operations during World War II conducted by American aircraft based in Great Britain and southern Italy, which landed at three Soviet airfields in the Ukrainian SSR. From there, the planes flew bombing missions en route back 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 saw mixed results, with German leadership perceiving the operation as an American propaganda campaign to impress the Soviets. Frantic also highlighted significant tensions between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, which proved both unfamiliar with and unfriendly to hosting foreign aircraft for joint operations. After its seventh bombing mission, in mid-September 1944, Frantic was discontinued. Overview American plans to use air bases in the USSR began as United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) staff studies soon after the German inv ...
