Re: Soviet air raids on Berlin Dates

Gabor

Thanks for the update, that's what I was looking for . In addition it seems that :

420 DBAP was also involved in bombing Warsaw, Bucharest and Budapest sometime
in 1942. Do you have any details on that because I don't. There are some rumours
that in 1942 Bucharest was raided by several PE-8's on a long range flight from
deep in the Soviet territory (presumably 890 DBAP or 746 OAPDD from Kratovo/Moscow Obl. )
can you confirm that ?

Incidently 746 OAPDD which was renamed later 25 гап дд began training their crews since June 44
on Lend / Lease or repaired or ex Poltawa Shuttle Bombing ex AAC B-24D's and even flew one
and last mission on these Libs on July 1944 ( target unknown )

Летали интенсивно: февраль 1942 г. - 20 летных дней, 288 самолето-вылетов; март — 21 летный день, 253 самолето-вылета; апрель — 18 летных дней, 268 самолето-вылетов. Советские войска, активно действовавшие на Западном фронте, получали хорошую поддержку непрерывными ударами с воздуха по войсковым и оперативным тылам противника. А потом начались полеты по более дальним маршрутам, порой с аэродромов подскока, расположенных вблизи линии фронта. Многие цели находились под Варшавой, Бухарестом, Будапештом, на территории Германии.
