The Women and War series examines the vital roles women have played during wartime, and this entry charts the history of the fearless female WWII pilots known as the Night Witches. . . .This book showcases how skilled, daring, and resourceful these aviators were, and it also calls attention to the women responsible for plane maintenance and repair. Fact boxes, pilot profiles, and period photos make this a lively and inspirational read., Clear prose and coherent and thoughtful story lines written from a feminist perspective describe women's contribution to war efforts and explain how military service became one of the foundations of the modern women's movement. . . .Well-chosen period photos of the women who served are a plus, as are the sidebars and maps. These topics are often overlooked for this audience, especially those of Soviet Night Witches. A first purchase for middle school libraries.

Synopsis
The Soviet Night Witches flew over 30,000 missions in planes made of almost nothing more than plywood and canvas. Learn more about the origin of the Night Witches and the amazing women who flew these missions and were indispensable to the war effort in WWII., Who has a fighting spirit? Women, that's who! Read about the brave, brash, and brilliant Soviet Night Witches and their amazing contribution to the war effort in World War II. These pilots worked in sub-par planes in freezing weather and with little support. Yet, the sounds of their planes struck fear into the hardiest of soldiers. Their tireless work helped the Allies win the war, and their legend lives on long after their success. Book jacket.
