Description:
In World War II’s darkest hour, natural born Soviet airwomen volunteered to take to the skies to defend Mother Russia from the Hitlerite bandits. They flew terrifying night missions in obsolete biplanes, dropping bombs on the invaders and when they couldn’t get bombs, they dropped railroad ties. By day they struggled with repairs, parts shortages, political officers, and all the forces that wanted to see them fail. This is the story of their triumph anyway, as told by you. Beginners welcome, system will be taught.
Your biplane is made of wood and canvas with an unarmored fuel tank that goes up like a candle when hit. You don’t wear parachutes because that weight could be better used for more bombs, and because you fly too low for a parachute to be useful. The cover of darkness is your greatest ally as you glide in, engines off, to torment the invaders. But even when the moon is full, still you must fly.
