Re: B-25 used by VVS as night bomber?
Yes, soviet B-25s were regularly used for night bombing and supply drop purposes in 1944-45. One of their most famous mission-series was the supply drop missions over Yugoslavia for Tito partizans with several losses in 1944: 42-87490 red '2', 42-32474 red '12', 43-3507 red '4', etc.
18 VA also used 14., 238., 251. GvBAPs for night bombings over Hungary and Austria in 1945...
Sample from their long 1944-45 plane lists and reports:
B-25 S/N, markings, assigned pilot:
…813 - red '87' - Прончатов
…526 - red '88' - Жариков
…240 - red '89' - Сафонов
…535 - red '90' - Букин
…014 - red '91' - Саденков
…997 - red '99' - Десятов
A long story. Cheers,
Gabor
