Thanks, it's my pleasure. Here are some pics of the soviet 17th Air Army (3rd Ukrainian Front), 244 BAD, 260 BAP A-20G Bostons, lost at the Sombor airfield. Squadrons of 260 BAP used the very same tactical numbers, but in squadron specific colors. (Full stories, pics and details in my A-20 Boston book.) Enjoy!
