During World War Two, the Soviet Air Forces created a women-only regiment that flew cropper planes to bomb the enemy at night. The Nazis called them the 'Night Witches'.

In the diary of Yevgeniya (Zhenya) Rudneva, a 20-year-old astronomy student in Moscow, we're offered a rare glimpse into her life in the regiment.
