The Night Witches

The Night Witches were a legendary group of female Soviet aviators during World War II, known for their daring nighttime bombing missions. Operating mainly in slow, unarmed biplanes, they flew clandestine operations to target German forces behind enemy lines, often in challenging weather and darkness. Their stealth, precision, and bravery earned them respect and fear among enemy soldiers. Despite the dangers, they demonstrated exceptional skill and resilience, breaking gender stereotypes and becoming symbols of Soviet wartime heroism.
