I think the Boston was just what the Brits called their American made A-20s.

Pyro said in the news that they are trying to get the biggest number of new planes to this release than to any other before it. IIRC 1.06 had 8 planes, so I think we might see few others in 1.10. ;)

Kuben,

The Boston Mk III is a glass nosed bomber.  The A-20 is a further development of that airframe.

A-20:

I am really hoping for the Ki-44-IIb Shoki "Tojo".

Kate would be useless.  Maybe the B6N2 Tenzan "Jill" would be better.

I'd love to see the H8K2 Emily as well.

If we get an IJN torpedo bomber at this point in time, I would expect it to be the Jill instead of the Kate.  The reason is our USN torp bomber is the TBM Avenger which was the contemporary of the Jill, not the Kate.  Since we are getting Val and Dauntless, and A6M2 and F4F-3, it looks like we're getting contemporaries from the Pacific Theater.

Just a clarification.... the Boston III we are getting is an export version of the A-20C, the main differences between them being the type of guns/radios/oxygen system fitted.  The other A-20 is a mid to late G variant in US service.
