Not only did women fly bombers in WW2, but they were called "Night Witches" (Nachthexen in German).

AWESOME.

A comic book metaseries by Garth Ennis was made on them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefields_(comics)

@Ulfra_Wolfe Oh, dear, Garth Ennis...well, at least the idea is cool!

@mona Not a fan of 'em, I presume.

@Ulfra_Wolfe No, I confess that I have never quite forgiven Ennis for almost ruining "Hellblazer".

@mona Not familiar.

@Ulfra_Wolfe "Hellblazer" is a comic series, still running I believe, about the iconic figure of John Constantine, a chain-smoking, dirty-mackintosh-clad, sarcastic, self-loathing practitioner of his own special brand of rough-and-ready magic. Created by Alan Moore as a supporting character for "Swamp Thing", Constantine became star of his own comic, "Hellblazer", originated by Jamie Delano in 1988.

@Ulfra_Wolfe Delano's "Hellblazer" usually put Constantine up against unfamiliar, sometimes very small-scale "kitchen sink" horrors, but Ennis brought to the comic two things: the festering anti-Catholicism of an Irishman and a deeply adolescent sensibility, so he ramped up the gore and put Constantine up against Satan and Archangel Michael, so the comic became less a magical "X-Files" and more "End of Days". It was pretty dismal, honestly.
