English (Translate this text in English): BOSTON A 20 plane of B-3 (A-20 B-30) of 12.04.1944:
It was delivered in SA under the law on a lend-lease under the name "Boston And 20 B". It was found in the course of search of other plane of this type.

The plane flew up from airfield on the Thin cape with increased (4 FAB-250 in a compartment and FAB-100 under tsentrolyuky) bombing loading. When performing a turn with cleaning of the chassis I entered the provalivaniye mode with sliding on a wing. The plane fell in water approximately in 1.5 km from the coast, Bodies of pilots weren't found.

Condition of the plane:

It is almost whole, lies on equal sandy soil at a depth of 36 m. The cabin of the navigator is crumpled to the left, is visible at blow about a bottom after flooding. The tail plumage is destroyed on a docking hub 372 and 3/4 (inch) of the line of a fuselage. Its elements are at distance from 3 to 8 meters. Sag in soil of 20 - 30 cm, Soil - sand. Outside the plentiful obrastaniye of mussels (5 - 8 cm), in a fuselage (in a bombing compartment) an obrastaniye is absent.

There is an access to a cabin of the pilot and a compartment of shooters of a back hemisphere where on the spherical hinge (not a tourist's fir-tree) large-caliber Colt-Brouning 303 freely rotates.

Remains of crew members, or ammunition and personal belongings it isn't found. According to the story of the eyewitness of an event Polyakov Alexey Vasilyevich (I died in 1995), B-3 was attacked by couple of Me-109 one of which was hit by fire of "Boston" and fell in water on removal of 1.2 - 1.5 km
