Publisher's Summary

The incredible forgotten story of the WWII female bomber regiment.

From 1942 until the end of World War II, the Soviets had a secret weapon: Women.

The 588th Night Bomber Regiment was one of the most decorated units; each member had flown more than 800 missions by the end of the war, and 23 were awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union (the highest distinction).

Despite all the awards, the unit is largely forgotten now. This audiobook looks at the history of one of the most daring aviation units ever commissioned.

not a lengthy read, but excellent and well done

I really liked this story about the Russian women combat pilots. they were so brave and committed. can't imagine climbing into a wood and cloth biplane at night and flying out to face the Nazi war machine
