Hi,

No, 2 GvAP DD flew IL-4s (DB-3Fs), not B-25s at least in Sept, 1944! Serials of losses are clearly of IL-4s from aircraft factory 39 (like: Batch no.542 - Zavod39 - Plane no.17 -----> 5423917, etc.), plus they were all lost with typical IL-4 crews of 4, not 5 or 6 airmen, like of the Mitchells. IL-4, S/N: 5423919 eg. crashed at Rzeszow, Poland en route home after attacking Budapest, so their home could be somewhere in Belarus by that time.)

28 GvAP DD flew IL-4s, 29 GvAP DD flew Li-2s. 339 AP DD also flew Li-2s, like S/N: 18411608, 336 AP DD flew Li-2s, eg. S/N: 18413302, etc.

Home of 16 GvAP DD (IL-4s) was probably in Ukraine.
