Wonderful pictures. It is always cheering to find a selection of photos from second-line units and bases, showing unusual types or just familiar types in unusual places or times.

However, I suspect the B-17G wasn't destroyed at Poltava. Damaged maybe. The Russians weren't into repairing them and returning to their owners: anything repairable ended up in their own use given their almost complete lack of such kind of aircraft.
