Oh, yeah, Lily Litvak was a badass. Did not survive the war.

I had a Gunny once who would have called the young man a “sexual intellectual.” When I asked him what that meant he said, “Ah, he’s a F#*$n know-it-all!”

There exists a 2 vol set of interviews (conducted in the early 70s, IIRC) of every then still living WWII Soviet female pilot. I ‘ve read every interview in them both at the Howard-Tilton Memorial Lib. @ Tulane in NO. Quite a read–you ought to check ‘em out–literally. Can’t remember the title off-hand, tho. Local lib. or Lib. of Congress would know, however.

Thanx for link!

You might enjoy this site that lists Soviet female fighter pilots of WWII… including “Lilia” with her 11 individual and 3 shared kills.
