Re: Baltic Sea - found the Douglas A-20
 
I know the 51 MTAP A-20 Bostons in service on January 1, 1945. I am sure recovered plane was one of them. About 60% from the 43-21XXX, and 40% from the 43-9XXX series. Any info on engine and plane serial number(s)??? They might help to identify the crew.

No problem. Documents list engine serials and plane serials together and the engines are both there. Also, plane serial number was painted on other places as well, eg. underneath the pilot's cockpit, etc.
