Night Witches: The Amazing Story of Russia's Women Pilots in WWII by Bruce Myles

4.0

I had never heard of the Night Witches before, which is a crying shame. I’m not much of a war history person, but the story of these incredible women warriors is a treasure. My only complaint with this book is that it was written by a dude - I would have much preferred to read this material from a Russian female author, but couldn’t find anything. But that is hardly the author’s fault. Extremely well-written and engaging, this book depicts the professional and personal lives of the pilots with respect and honor.
