Aviation Photo #7081733 North American B-25J Mitchell - Russia - Air Force

The USSR received 862 B-25s (B, C, D, G, and J types) from the United States under Lend-Lease during World War II via the Alaska–Siberia ALSIB ferry route. A total of 870 B-25s were sent to the Soviets, meaning that 8 aircraft were lost during transportation. In general, the B-25 was operated as a long-range night bomber (as opposed to the similar Douglas A-20 Havocs , which mostly bombed during the day).
