A Thousand Sisters: The Heroic Airwomen of the Soviet Union in World War II by Elizabeth Wein

3.0

The history of Soviet women pilots fighting against Germany's eastern front is fascinating, and even more of an anachronism given Stalin's sharp decision post-war to ban women veterans from speaking about their flying experiences or participating in aviation in any way. Unfortunately, Wein's writing was drier than the topic might suggest.
