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?
