Hitler ruthlessly invades Russia, destroying more than 70 percent of the country's infrastructure and air force.\n\nA determined, patriotic 18-year-old schoolgirl,Lilia Litvyak, demonstrates her daring flying skills to the male-dominated Soviet high command. Reluctantly, she is assigned to an elite all-male squadron, making her the first female-fighter-pilot in the history of the world.\nBy age 21, Lilia completes 268 missions and records 15 solo kills and 22 assists, records which stand to this day.\n\nTragically, at 22, she is fatally wounded by a squad of Nazi planes in the desolate woods of Eastern Ukraine and lost in time for six decades.\n\nDespite the pain and suffering of battle, in her spare moments, Lilia laughed, read poetry, and fell madly in love with her soulmate, the dashing ace, Captain Alexei Solomatin, who ultimately perished before her eyes.\n\nThis book is a must-read for anyone interested in epic stories of women's empowerment.
