Night witches - Female Russian bombers who bombed Germany during WW2.
They had old, noisy planes & the engines used to conk out halfway through their
missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid-flight to restart the
props.
To stop Germans from hearing them & starting up the anti aircraft guns, they ̇d
climb
to a certain height, coast down to German positions, drop their bombs, restart
their engines in midair & get the hell out of dodge. Their leader flew 200+
missions & was never captured.
