For fans of Pam Jenoff and Genevieve Graham, a novel based on the true story of a daring all-female aviation bombing unit called the Night Witches, who inspired fear in German soldiers throughout WWII
1941: As the Nazis flatten her country, Maria Raskova, a record-breaking Russian flight navigator, receives permission to form the only all-female aviation regiment in the Second World War. From the start, the odds are against the women, who are forced to fly in deadly open-cockpit biplanes made of canvas and wood with a top speed of only ninety-four miles an hour.
After their most tragic night of the war, this group of brave women must overcome their grief and shaken confidence to complete their missions safely and prove their worth to their male counterparts, who have undermined the confidence of the women since they began training.
Told through the eyes of four female pilots and navigators in this unprecedented squadron, The Night Witches, inspired by real women and true events, is a story of these triumphant women in the face of staggering odds.
