Night Witches were fearless women who took on Hitler's war machine. Some of them were only teenagers.

They flew under the cover of darkness, silent as ghosts, striking terror into the hearts of Nazi soldiers. Their enemies called them ""Night Witches,"" convinced they possessed supernatural powers. But they were not witches-they were young Soviet women, pilots and navigators who defied expectations, mastered the skies, and became one of the most feared bomber regiments of World War II.

This gripping, meticulously researched book brings their incredible story to life. From their gruelling training and the doubts of male officers to their daring night raids and harrowing escapes from enemy fire, Night Witches immerses readers in the exhilarating and perilous world of these trailblazing aviators.

More than just a war story, this is a story of sisterhood, resilience, and defiance. These women were not supposed to fight. They were told they were too weak, too inexperienced, too fragile for combat. Instead, they flew thousands of missions, dropped countless bombs, and played a critical role in turning the tide of war.

Perfect for readers who love untold stories of fearless women, Night Witches is a testament to the power of courage, determination, and the unbreakable bonds forged in battle. If you're inspired by historical heroines who refused to accept limits, this is a book you won't want to miss.
