At the crash site of the Tu-154 found the wreckage of the American "Boston"

During the search operation in the area of ​​Sochi, where 25 December crashed airliner of the Russian Ministry of Defense Tu-154, the wreckage of another aircraft unexpectedly showed up. We are talking about fragments of American aircraft of the Second World War period discovered by search diving groups and underwater vehicles. This is a “Boston” B-3 (III) aircraft, which in November 1942 crashed during takeoff from Adler’s Sochi airfield.

The American-made aircraft belonged to the 63 Bomber Aviation Regiment.

From the message source Interfax:

One of the engines of the twin-engined aircraft was raised to the surface from the bottom of the sea, according to the marking of which it will be possible to establish its identity, the circumstances of the crash and the fate of the crew.

The aircraft of the American production of the series “Boston” (“Douglas Boston”) were delivered during the Great Patriotic War in the USSR under the program of lend-lease, which was subsequently generously paid from the Soviet budget.

It should be noted that the search operation continues in the framework of the investigation into the causes of the crash of the Tu-154 heading to Syria off the coast of the Khostinsky district of Sochi and on some other directions. Recall that in a plane crash killed 92 person.

It is strange that they still haven’t found anything. There are a lot of things at the bottom in the Black Sea.

The main thing is to find what you need to find, so that in the future this does not happen to anyone.

They were friends for gold, for gold ... They are ready for such a "friendship" even now.

How much gold did the USSR pay for the lend-lease? About 1% of the cost! Therefore, there is no need to write that "! Were friends for gold"

[Shadowcat]

Better to write that were friends for blood? It will be more precise.

For that matter, the first Lendlis agreement between the Allies and the USSR was signed in December 1941. But this remarkable cruiser was flooded in April (probably in the territorial waters of Britain) near Murmansk, escorting a convoy QP-11

Right. And the same "Valentines" arrived in the USSR on October 11, 1941. And before the final decision on the accession of the USSR to the Lend-Lease program purchases they were made in the Soviet Union a loan.
So, to be absolutely precise, the gold "Edinburgh" - a payment of loans for the purchase of supplies on dolendlizovskim.

In June 1990, a new deadline for the final repayment of debt (2030) was established, as well as an amount of $ 674 million. After the collapse of the USSR, the debt was reissued to Russia. Something was paid, but the final settlement did not happen. Experts who know the problem believe that of the total volume of American Lend-Lease deliveries, the Soviet Union and then Russia recognized and then partially paid $ 722 million, that is, about 7%.
But they then counted on 100%, and even on 300-500 ...
And what should I write, excuse me ... I forgot to ask ...

- actually, according to the Law on Lend-Lease, subject to payment only after surviving war machines and unspent "materials"
- In addition, the United States reserved the right to demand the return of these same equipment materials, if the United States needs them.

That's all.

Thus, it is, of course, possible to count the "lend-lease payment" from the "total volume of supplies" ... but somehow it makes little sense, IMHO

So, Lend-Lease established that the spent, lost fuel, equipment, ammunition, etc., were payable. The remaining ones were subject to either return or payment.

And please tell us a great expert, but what took away the ships that came to Russia with the lend-lease goods? I recommend reading the "Correspondence of the Soviet government and the US government in the period 1941-1945." Author Gromyko A.A.
The name is approximate, for he held in his hands these two volumes at the end of the 70s of the last century. And do not lie, not knowing the topic!

And here is the case of the award sheets 8th Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment
“On December 15, 1943, the crew performed combat reconnaissance with the task of establishing the number of enemy artillery and tanks in the area of ​​Garmovichi, Korotkovichi, and the collective farm named after 11 kastrychnik. At 9.30 in the Korotkovichi area he was met and attacked by six enemy fighters of type Bf.109. In an unequal aerial battle, the aircraft received eight through holes by shells and more than 200 fragmentation-bullet shells. One shell was brought in the navigator’s cabin to his airfield. The fighters made six attacks, disabled the elevator, the right tank was completely broken, the right tire of the chassis wheel and the left screw were broken. The car was uncontrollable and from a height of 4000 m was in a mess-peak up to 800 m. But thanks to exclusively courage and courage Suchkov at an altitude of 800 m brought the car out of the peak. The dashboard refused to work. The plane was uncontrollable, and Suchkov, knowing that his gunner was badly wounded, stubbornly drove the plane to his airfield. Not wanting to leave the plane and the air gunner, 160 km, ignoring difficulties, drove the car without a speed indicator. The elevator did not work. Safely brought the plane to its airfield and landed. This saved the life of the crew and the car. The navigator Shalyutin, regardless of the difficulties, by all means gave the pilot a route to his airfield. The mission was completed, information about the enemy and the weather along the route were provided to the headquarters in full. In an air battle, the arrows of Mikhailov and Popugaev shot down one enemy aircraft. At the same time, Popugaev received a severe shrapnel wound to his arm, and Mikhailov received a shrapnel wound to his leg, but continued to fight. ” http://bmpd.livejournal.com/1295190.html

Do you think Americans have suffered losses? Yes, the United States without its selfish interest and a cent will not give! Of course, you don’t take into account the 30 million lives that the USSR paid in your accounting calculation! And, what was Stalin forced to promise Roosevelt to defeat Japan in exchange for a land lease? Well, and then Russia in two thousandths completely paid off its debts.

Yeah ... they paid the two thousandths of the debt in the amount calculated in 1951 dollars, without inflationary adjustment.

What is going on in the media ???????? Divers EMERCOM found in the Black Sea a military plane from the time of the Second World War and air bombs in preparation for Epiphany bathing. This was reported by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation. Presumably, rescuers discovered three bombs of the FAB-100 type in the sea. The aircraft found was twin-engine.
According to preliminary data, this may be an American-made model A-20 Douglas military aircraft.

[bober1982]

The designation of the Boston B-3 aircraft (in the article), found at the bottom of the Black Sea, is probably conditional, it’s more correct to say Douglas A-20, the plane that our pilots immediately accepted, it was a great car, and ours were immediately appreciated.
What is curious, the American version of the machines was very different from the English, apparently this is what is called one-story America - whiskey, leather pants, etc., we immediately understood, although there were no whiskey and pants (we dismantled ours, like this us usual)

[Alexey RA]

Quote: bober1982

Nope. Because the Soviet Union as the "Boston B-3" refers to the model immediately 3: DB-7B, DB-7C and the A-20C.

Similarly, in tanks, all models of the obtained medium M3 were designated as M3C, and all models of light M3 were designated as M3L.

[bober1982]

"Bostons" (Douglas A-20) was not .....3 models at once ... - there were many modifications, British, American bombers, attack aircraft, heavy fighters, it was a multi-purpose machine that we used at our discretion. In some ways it was inferior to our Pe-2s and Tu-2s, in some ways it was better.

[Alexey RA]

Quote: bober1982

"Boston" (Douglas A-20) was not immediately ..... 3 models ... - had a lot of modifications

In this case, I spoke only of "Havoc" / "Boston", comes in the USSR and held we under the designation "Boston B-3". This is - a purely domestic designation junction up 3 of the original model: DB-7B, DB-7C and the A-20C.
And here is the next model delivered to us - A-20G - we had the same name as the western one: A-20Zh.

[bober1982]

I agree with you.

[vasilev]

There was no happiness for historians but misfortune helped

[vasilev]

If you believe the media have found two "Douglas" in the Black Sea is one in preparation for Epiphany bathing, and the other in the search for the wreckage of the Tu 154.

[bober1982]

There was no preparation for baptismal baths, they immediately refused (in the Adler area), all with a great holiday, ours and not ours!
