Women in a Sky of War - Witches by Night, Furies by Day

This book is a vibrant tribute to the Russian female aviators of the Second World War, young girls who were then between 17 and 25 years old. They were nicknamed the Night Witches, the Devils, the Falcons, the Furies, sometimes even the Sisters... Under the command of Marina Raskova, three aviation regiments were formed to fight alongside male units. It is a true, gripping tale of valor, self-improvement, and feminine sensitivity swept up in a merciless war. These Great Ladies, pilots and navigators, through their courage, their ideals, their youth, won the hearts of nations and earned the respect of the adversary.
"The author has admirably highlighted the innovative side of military thinking in combat in fighter and bomber aviation."
General Valérie André.
