The Soviet Night Witches

Wow, what an incredible group of women. Their courage and tenacity is the stuff of legend.
They were practically flying blind at night with no parachutes, radar, guns or radios in open cockpit crop duster planes in freezing cold conditions while being shot at, and having to do 8 to 18 missions per night. If ever there was a model of bravery and determination, that gets my vote.
