Marina Raskova



Marina Mikhailovna Raskova (March 28, 1912–January 4, 1943) was a famous Russian navigator, often referred to as the "Russian Amelia Earhart". She later became one of over 800,000 women in the military service in a huge way by founding three female air regiments which would eventually fly over 30,000 sorties in World War II.
