This plane was captured by Germans and marked DB-25.
Here is DB-25 after some repainting; the light color is believed to be a rough layer of yellow to avoid friendly fire.
Aside with other three DB-3Fs (DB-22, 23, 24), DB-25 was purchased by Finns and delivered to them on 13 Oct 42 at Brjansk.
On the following day, the four planes were flown to Finland, but one (DF-22) was lost in an accident due to one engine.
