In 1941 under the cover of darkness, female Russian pilots flew obsolete Polikarpov PO-2 biplanes against the Nazi invaders.
The Germans both feared and hated the 'Nacht Hexen' - the 'Night Witches' who appeared like ghosts in the night.
Popular speaker Debbie Land (she gave a superb SOE & Lysander Talk last season) has a long association with The Shuttleworth Collection who themselves operate a PO-2 (though not normally at night!) and is an expert on the subject. This illustrated talk will explore this 'hidden history' and is bound to be popular!
Held at The Cirrus Room, Aviator Hotel, Sywell Aerodrome, NN6 0BN.
Tickets £5 OTD first come-first served , free parking, on site bar and restaurant. Raffle.
Held to raise funds for Sywell Aviation Museum.
For more information please call 07711363392 or email [email protected]
Look out for other talk announcements coming soon.
