Title: Soviet A-20
Post by: Greebo on January 23, 2019, 10:47:10 AM

Thank you to Lyric1 for helping me research this and other Soviet A-20 schemes. The RL aircraft was an A-20B which is considered an acceptable substitution for our Boston.

This A-20, an early B model, was flown by the 30th Reconnaissance Aviation Regiment of the Soviet Navy's Black Sea Fleet. 30th RAP was one of the first Soviet units to receive A-20s in late 1942 and flew them until the end of the war. The B variant was often used for this role by the VVS as it lacked the self-sealing fuel tanks needed for bombing and attack work. The aircraft is depicted as it would have looked in 1944, with white borders added to its red stars and the regiment's albatross nose art. By this time it had also been fitted with a Soviet-designed upper turret as well as a heavy machine gun in the dorsal position.
