I remember an interview with one of the surviving Night Witches. She said that if you dug your finger in the plane, the cloth would rip. It was that flimsy. She was proud of the title Night Witch. She also spoke fondly of a girl who survived seven flights out. Queens. Every single one of them.

Think the Woman standing with Sabaton Band is the ghost of a night witch from that crash site!

Hey LanceCorporalHawk30. Just to put this story in perspective, this story is now truly history. The last Night Witch passed away in 2017. May they, and their story, never be forgotten. (' ')7 Edit: LanceCorporalHawk30, a couple of things: 1) The Night Witches didn't fly in the victory parade after the war because it would have caused the newer planes to stall, due to the stall speeds of the newer planes being above the maximum airspeed of the PO-2 plane that the Night Witches used. 2) The Commandant went out and looked for the crash sites due to Russian military protocols not awarding servicemembers their service awards and medals if the servicemember being given the award was only MIA (Missing In Action). This was due, in part, to Stalin's distrust of the West, as well as not knowing if the military member in question was actually dead, being KIA (Killed In Action) or had defected or deserted. As a result of this, the Commandant of the 588th went out and found every site and documented it. She not only made this story one of the most provable, but she ensured that every one of her downed pilots and navigators got every award they were due for their military service.
