The official history of the 586th Fighter Regiment of the VVS lists various models of Yaks used, but a few women flew in other fighter units as well. A P-40 vet among them?

Did any of the ladies of the ATA ferry Tomahawks/Kittyhawks?

You have your work cut out for you, James. :wink:

Yes, she has a rare P-40F I think. Does anybody know when these guns were installed in the P-40? Do all six function?
