Russian forces would be A-20, P-63, Yak-9 and Yak-3. Also older planes like the SB-2, IL-4 and I-16 from Kamchatka. Interesting.
Agree that island map may make for a good start. There are basic Aleutian and Formosa map mods out there for reference if you want to take a look.

As for other regions: many others have mentioned already but there is still no stock map (and very few mod maps) that enable simulation of an end-to-end long range bomber raid/escort/'Defence of the Reich' type mission.

Cheers,
