The legendary 46th Guards Taman Regiment is one of three women's aviation regiments formed at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. Only women served in it, from the regimental commander to the technician. Most of them were very young girls, yesterday's schoolgirls and students. The Germans called them "night witches", the Russian soldiers — "swallows", Marshal Rokossovsky — "legends". During the war, the girls made 24,000 combat 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, chief of staff of the regiment, and Natalia Kravtsova (Meklin), Hero of the Soviet Union, commander of the flight that dropped 147 tons of bombs on the enemy, tell about their exploits. This edition also includes Natalia Kravtsova's documentary stories about other famous pilots.: Ekaterina Budanova, Lidiya Litvyak and Olga Yamshchikova.
