Can anyone direct me to a resource or photograph of a 36th MTAP mine layer torpedo squadron A-20 Havoc? I am also trying to verify postwar markings for the same squadron during their operations in the Pacific theater. Thank you in advance for any suggestions…for whatever reason, I have a difficult time logging onto the Russian aviation sites.

Thank you very much…this is very informative!!
It appears that the 36th MTAP used (in 1945) the A-20G or A-20J with modifications to the nose.
The scheme appears to be overall olive drab with light gray undersides. Thank you again for this piece of history.

Fortunately, I have found two images more of this 36th MTAP’s crewman.
1) Lieutenant K. I. Moiseev (third from the left standing man on photo) with brother-soldiers from 2 sqn of 36th MTAP:
2) K. I. Moiseev with brother-soldiers during rare moments of rest:

I have found only this photo of one crew of 36th MTAP:
North Fleet, 2 sqn of 36th MTAP.
About this photo is known, that lieutenant K. I. Moiseev (second man from the left on photo) was killed in February 2, 1945 during battle action. It is possible, all crew was killed.
And below is A-20 at Black Sea area in South part of the USSR – possibly, from 36th MTAP:
Hope, these will be useful.
