Episode 17: The Night Witches

Woes and Wonders of Women, Witches and Wives

One day late on posting this but WORTH THE WAIT!!
This week Elaine brings us the story of Marina Roskova and the Night Witches; the 588th Night Bomber Aviation Regiment in the Soviet Air force during World War II. Tune in to learn all about these incredible women, their planes, the missions they put their lives on the line to complete, and the war they waged on Nazi Germany from the air.
