Well done Massimo & Tapani!
These pages on the Soviet A-20/Boston are quite exciting, and shed a lot of light on a little known and treated subject.
I would like to add a few details on the type B planes white 25 and white 15.
These two planes were flown by the same crew: pilot, guard lieutenant Alexander Mikhailovich Suchkov, navigator, guard junior lieutenant Alexey Nikolaevich Shalyutin, radio operator, guard sergeant Ivan Iosifovich Mikhailov, gunner, guard sergeant Ilya Arsentievich Popugaev.
Among the millions of pages digitized in the site Pamyat naroda, you can find the combat log of 221 BAD.
The first page is a rather futuristic color drawing of an A-20, and at page 106 you can find this famous photo:
It represents white 15, an A-20B-DL, serial number 41-3522, construction number 5852.
The captions says something like that on 15/12/1943 the crew of Lieutenant Suchkov conducted reconnaissance of enemy troops in the area of Korotkovichi, when they were attacked by six Me-109. The crew repulsed the enemy attacks, and the plane was damaged to the point of being almost uncontrollable, but the pilot completed his mission and brought the plane back at his airport. For his courage and determination, the pilot was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the 1st degree.
White 25 is the plane flown by the same crew in middle 1944, and after fighting with success six Me-109, I believe that they could rightly put a lion on their new plane!
As Massimo site is a treasure cave, to find a description and photos of this second plane, you have only to go to: Lend-lease planes > neat nose art on A-20B "Boston" 3rd Sq, 8th Guards Bomber Aviation Regt.

Now Mr. Troy Smith has a profile of his favorite A-20.
