Enter the 588th Night Bomber Regiment—an all-female unit that flew outdated, wooden biplanes on daring night raids. Nicknamed the "Night Witches" by terrified German troops, these young women turned every weakness into a deadly advantage. This is the untold story of how they haunted the enemy, one silent bombing run at a time.
