For those not in the know, Night Witches were Russian lady bombers who
bombed the sh//t out of German lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappiest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. The planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them coming and starting up their anti-aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get out of there. Why isn't this taught in history class?
