Re: B-25 used by VVS as night bomber?
Well, I still do not think so, because the necessary tail markings are missing in the photo to be a plane, participating Yugoslav supply-drop missions. Plus they did not drop bombs, only containers, supplies & agents. However, the soviets (14, 22 GvAP DD & 337 AP DD) have lost the following B-25 Mitchells during Yugoslav supply-missions that can be considered:
B-25, S/N: ...745 on April 30/May 1, 1944
B-25, S/N: ...747 on August 22/23, 1944
(B-25, S/N: ...743 was still in service on August 6 and December 11, 1944.)
Being 42974X in photo, there was no other options for ... 74X among planes flying the supply missions over Yugoslavia. I hope this helps.
