Night Witches

From Kottke: The Night Witches were an all-female Soviet bomber regiment that attacked Nazi forces during World War II.

An attack technique of the night bombers involved idling the engine near the target and gliding to the bomb-release point with only wind noise left to reveal their presence. German soldiers likened the sound to broomsticks and hence named the pilots “Night Witches”.

Fucking rad.
