I read an article in

I read an article in Haaretz (Hebrew, and link may change in the future) about the Russian female fighter pilots of World War II. It was translated from the Guardian, but I couldn’t find it online at the Guardian’s site.
What I did find is a big article from the American Federal Aviation Authority’s web page, which covers both the fighter pilots assigned to regular units, like Lily Litvak, the “white rose of Stalingrad”, as well as all-women bomber brigades like the Nachthexen, the 588th night bomber brigade. That link is to the web page of a “combat flight simulation group” (sounds like wargamers to me) named in their honor, and has some photos of the Russian originals.

The FAA article mentions the WASPs, American women who were non-combat pilots. The article in Haaretz quotes one of the Russian women about a meeting organized between the WASPs and their Russian counterparts, saying that all the WASPs were thin and well-dressed, and the Russians were all small and fat.
