Night Witches

"The interviewer talks to these formidable women veterans who played such a crucial role in the skies over Stalingrad and elsewhere on the Eastern Front."

This sounds really interesting. I'll have to check this out more when I have some time... maybe at work tonight!
It is a fascinating story. If you liked the interview, I know that there are at least two books on the subject, as well as a mini series of comic books by the incomparable Garth Ennis.
