The legendary 46th Guards Taman Regiment was one of three all-female aviation regiments formed at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. It was staffed entirely by women, from the regiment commander to the technician. Most of them were very young women, recent schoolgirls and college students. The Germans called them "night witches," Russian soldiers called them "swallows," and Marshal Rokossovsky called them "legends." During the war, these women flew 24,000 combat sorties, bombing Germans on the Don, in Stavropol, the Caucasus, Kuban, Belarus, Poland, and East Prussia. Twenty-five pilots and navigators were awarded the title of Hero. Their exploits are recounted by Irina Rakobolskaya, the regiment's chief of staff, and Hero of the Soviet Union Natalya Kravtsova (Mecklin), the flight commander who dropped 147 tons of bombs on the enemy. This edition also includes documentary stories by Natalia Kravtsova about other famous pilots: Ekaterina Budanova, Lidiya Litvyak and Olga Yamshchikova.
