Daughters of the Night Sky - by Aimie K Runyan (Paperback)

The Night Witches is a gripping and inspiring novel that tells the story of Katya Ivanova, a young pilot in a far-flung military academy in the Ural Mountains.

With the Nazis on the march across Europe, Katya is called upon to use her wings to serve her country in its darkest hour.

Despite the entreaties of her new husband, a sensitive artist who fears for her safety, Katya is determined to do her part as a proud daughter of Russia.

After years of arduous training, she is assigned to the 588th Night Bomber Regiment - one of the only Soviet air units composed entirely of women.

The Germans quickly learn to fear nocturnal raids by the daring fliers they call Night Witches.

But as the brutal campaign wears on, Katya and her sisters-in-arms face a agonizing choice: to continue fighting for their country or to save themselves from the horrors of war.

Will Katya be able to find the strength and courage to carry on, even when all seems lost? Find out in this inspiring and heart-wrenching tale of sacrifice, love, and heroism.
