If you have checked out allaces.ru at the episodes in the past, I have another concerning this site.
18 October 1941
It has a bombing raid involving the 42 DBAP in which it describes a section of 3 DB-3. The heroic struggle that is described is from a 1987 writing. Unfortunately, the two shot down crews had no survivors to pass along what happened during that battle.

Here is the actual incident from the report. The 42 DBAP sent 10 DB-3 to bomb German forces at Lotoshino - Vorob’evo. They were intercepted by Bf 109s as they left from their mission.
DB -3 flown by Mladshiy Leytenant Nikolay Shein and his crew were listed as MIA in their case it isn’t known if they fell to AAA or fighters.

In the case described the loss:
DB-3 42 DBAP Starshiy Serzhant Ivan Rodin and crew (MIA) to Bf 109s
DB-3 42 DBAP Starshiy Leytenant Sergey Lifanov (Deputy AE CO) and crew (MIA) to Bf 109s

Hptm. Karl-Gottfried Nordmann Stab IV/JG 51 DB-3 (63) 10:20 East of Medyn
Lt. Hans Boos Stab IV/JG 51 DB-3 (13) 10:25 8 km East of Malojaroslawetz

No Bf 109s were reported as lost.

Two of the DB-3 were type A and one type F but I don’t have know which types were flown by which crew.
