Daughters of the Steppes

By: Brooks Carver

This book conveys the stories of some of the most talented, brave, and resourceful women of their generation, the only female air force to appear in combat. They battled the German Luftwaffe in the skies over Russia, so join them in their missions by night above the dangerous killing fields of that era. Many of them sacrificed their lives while becoming the highest decorated regiment in the Soviet Union. They were legends in the making. The many young women who lost their lives during those years left behind a legacy that far outlived them. Even though the Russian officials hid their exploits for many years, the glasnost era of the 1980's brought the story into the shining light of history. Even in death, the Night Witches skill and bravery immortalized their contribution to victory on the Eastern Front.
