Late summer- 1942. As the German army smashes deep into Soviet Russia and the defenders of the Motherland retreat in disarray- a new bomber squadron arrives at a Russian forward airbase. Its crews will fly flimsy wooden biplanes on lethal night missions over German lines- risking fiery death as they fling themselves against the invader- but for these pilots- the consequences of capture will be even worse. For the pilots of the 599th Night Bomber Regiment are women. In the deadly skies of the Eastern front- they will become a legend- known- to friend and foe alike- as the Night Witches.
