145 Squadron escorts USAAF Baltimores

"escort duty to four U.S.A.A.F. Baltimores over Velletri on 21 May, 1944"

Were the USAAF flying Baltimores on this raid?

S.A.A.F. Baltimores more likely?

USAAF had B-25s and B-26s in Italy as medium bombers.

Thanks Leendert, that was my understanding too, with perhaps A-20 Havocs also? Nick Beales Ghostbomber resource states 24 Baltimores but does not claim they are USAAF. That seems to confirm they were Baltimores and probably RAF/SAAF.

best regards
