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
