Litvyak

Overview

Lydia Litvyak - Soviet fighter pilot. Ace. Hero. In the world ranking of female combat pilots - the first line. Her name has been there since August 1943. And probably forever. For almost eighty years past, none of the female aces have come close to such a combat account. Unless, of course, excluding Katerina Budanova, a fellow soldier and Lily’s best friend. Katya is the second line. Their regiment flew on Yak-1 fighters. He covered attack aircraft, transporters and ground troops. They fought over Stalingrad, Rostov and Mius Front. They converged in battles with German fighters, bombers and scouts. They returned from combat sorties with empty tanks and holes, fell on enemy territory, burned and sat on their belly, saved friends, suffered losses, were injured and returned to duty ... They won and became legends. On the first of August 1943, Lilya Litvyak was incomplete for 22 years. That day, her plane took off for the last time and remained in the sky forever...
