Re: Banak bombed 30 June 1942

from "Chronicles of Great Patriotic War on the Northern marine theatre", reprint of vol. 2 I have following:

5 DB-3F attacked airfield Banak. Dropped 30 FAB-100, whole area was covered with bombs, two hits to aircraft were photographed, altogether four aircraft of type Me 109 were claimed as destroyed, fires were observed.

With Luostari there is some mess in the book. There are two paragraphs of text with little differences - 13 Pe-2 and 2 Pe-3 (or 15 Pe-2 under cover of 12 Tomahawk) attacking Luostari airfield at the same time, but probably they are same aircraft.
From attacking planes two were destroyed after forced landing, third one damaged after forced landing at the airfield. Unit was probably special naval air group (особая морская авиационная группа) - ad hoc unit containing of 28. and 29. dive bombing navy regiments and 35. long range torpedo bomber regiment (or parts of these unit).
