Re: Question concerning VVS' Boston A-20 subtypes

There may some confusions in russian documents because many A-20s were modified in soviet service, notably to reinstall a glazed navigator position in versions which didn't have one (using among others glass panels from Il-4s).

Others were provided with a soviet-made radar,...

That may explain the "appearance" of new subtypes in soviet service.

Hope this can help,

Kolya.

P.S. : I think that on this webpages, the second A-20 photograph depicts such a modified airplane.
