(4) YA Sixteen-year-old pilot Valentina longs to be a Night Witch--female pilots in the Soviet Union's 588th Regiment--like her older sister, but she's too young to enlist. After their mother is killed, Valya finds herself alone in war-torn Stalingrad and thrust into battle. Tactical descriptions and historical background sometimes stall the action, but WWII-fiction fans won't mind.
