Alex, thank you for your response and for typing up the information from the very useful books by Carl-Fredrik Geust and the late James J. Halley MBE. This helps make my query more specific, as follows:
Of the 40 Bostons in question, three must have been DB-7B, Boston III aircraft from the serial range AL675 to 832
The other 37 must have been A-20C, Boston IIIA aircraft from the U.S. serial range 41-19589 - 19728.
Now, the crux of the matter is, how are these 40 aircraft to be identified? Does any forum member have access to SAAF documents which list the serials of aircraft taken on strength of 12 SAAF and 24 SAAF?
