U-2? Come on... ;-) They flew B-25 Mitchell and A-20G Boston gunships and claimed several night victories against eg. Me 110G, Do 217N? night-fighters. Later unit names and actions are better known as 26 & 27 GvAP NOB DD ... (Some of their Bostons were: 42-53627, 42-53677, 42-53722, 42-53734, 42-53739, 42-53748, 42-53897, 42-54258, etc.) They mainly blocked/disabled the enemy night-fighter airfields with their 20 mm cannon fire and bombs during soviet night raids for the safety of their IL-4, Li-2 bombers.
