Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin and 40 Boston bombers in 1942 – can serials be identified?

[Alex Smart]

Hello Dan,
I don't know if you misunderstood my list ?
I only gave AL Serial numbers of those that were transferred to the USSR.
The only ones I noted that went to SAAF were those in the HK Serial number range that were swapped by the Russians for Spitfires in 1943.

IIRC the original enquiry was for details of Bostons that were delivered to the Russians in the early years of WW2.
If you have access to "85 Years of the SAAF, all the Bostons are listed therein.
Starting with Serial numbers, Squadron's, aircraft fate and losses which have a/c Serial number and crew names.
The Serial numbers start with W (3) followed by Z(60), then AL (55) ending with HK (40).

All the best
Alex
