My kids were big fans of Drunk History when they were 8 or 9 and they watched the episode about the Night Witches and spent the next few days pretending to fly around and bomb fascists.

My introduction was Night Witches by Sabaton.

Fun facts about the Night Witches:

• they flew antiquated, cloth-wing biplanes in the dark, without any sort of night vision, much less radar
• they would cut their engines and glide silently on the final approach to their bombing runs
• they initially refused to carry parachutes, to reduce weight and increase their speed and range

Dooooopppppeeeee
