The episode also underscores their post-war marginalization while celebrating their legacy and the award of the Hero of the Soviet Union to it’s 24 members.
More about Marina Raskova:
Marina Raskova (1912-1943) was a Soviet pilot, navigator, and commander who founded 3 renowned female air regiments during WWII.
Initially aspiring to be a musician, Raskova later pursued chemistry and eventually joined the Soviet Air Force as a draftswoman. In 1933, she became the first female navigator in the Air Force.
A celebrated pilot and navigator, she set numerous long-distance flight records, including the famous “Flight of the Rodina” with Polina Osipenko and Valentina Grizodubova. All three were awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union.
During WWII, despite facing resistance, Raskova successfully advocated for the formation of all-female aviation units. She personally commanded the 125th Bomber Regiment, equipping it with the best available aircraft.
Raskova tragically died in a plane crash in 1943. She was posthumously awarded the Order of Patriotic War 1st Class, and her regiments continued to serve throughout the war.
