Boston deliveries to BSF 1944

Trying to find info as into Boston lend /lease supplies to Black See Fleet
primarily to 36 MTAP ,30 OMRAE (1943 )and 13 GvBDAP . From some
sources I understand that 30 OMRAE received them already in 1942 other
say early 1943.

The 36 MTAP CO was killed end of January 1944 when he performed a forced
landing while rumours have circulated that he as former DB-3F pilot along with most
of this Regiment's pilot force were not sufficiently trained on A-20's.

He was seen end of June 1943 on a colored Soviet footage participating
at German captured aircraft display in Moscow , I therefore imagine that he
combined it with training courses at Jukowsky .

When the deliveries to BSF have commenced ? did all fleet had to pass through
Jukovsky for modification purposes ? were they flown through Iran ,through
UK or through Murmansk ? did instructor courses took place in Krimea or at
Jukowsky ? also if US or UK training pilots were dispatched to Krimea ?
