Nadezhda Popova. "The Nazis called them 'Night Witches' because the whooshing noise their plywood and canvas airplanes made, reminded the Germans of the sound of a witch’s broomstick. The Russian women who piloted those planes, onetime crop dusters, took it as a compliment. In 30,000 missions over four years, they dumped 23,000 tons of bombs on the German invaders, ultimately helping to chase them back to Berlin.
