During three visits to Moscow during and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Noggle interviewed more than 70 of these veteran pilots. Freed by "glasnost" to speak openly of their experiences, they told of flying flimsy aircraft and watching many of their friends - as well as foes - fall to earth in flames. But equally courageous were the women's efforts to ...

"I read this book 13 years ago and many times again since. I would have to say it is my all time favorite book as it introduced me to these extraordinary women. I like the style it is written in with each women basically telling her own story. The reader gets the feeling of knowing these women personally. Told in a fashion that relays the harrowing missions these women undertook. I am still surprised how very few people even know these women existed. Anna Noggle did a great service by introducing them to the public outside Russia."
