Нас называли ночными ведьмами

This book is dedicated to the legendary 46th Guards Taman, twice decorated regiment of night bombers, which was created in October 1941. In the history of the Great Patriotic War, this regiment is known as the "night witches": only women served in it — from the commander of the regiment to the technician. They were mostly very young girls, yesterday's schoolgirls and students. During the war, the girls made 24 thousand sorties: they bombed the Germans on the Don, in Stavropol, in the Caucasus, in the Kuban, in Belarus, Poland, and East Prussia. 25 pilots and navigators received the title of Hero. Irina Rakobolskaya, the chief of staff of the regiment, and Hero of the Soviet Union Natalia Kravtsova (Meklin), the flight commander who dropped 147 tons of bombs on the enemy, tell about their exploits.
