Its crews will fly flimsy wooden biplanes on lethal night missions over German lines, risking fiery death as they fling themselves against the invader- but for these pilots, the consequences of capture will be even worse. For the pilots of the 599th Night Bomber Regiment are women. In the deadly skies of the Eastern front, they will become a legend- known, to friend and foe alike, as the Night Witches.[/color] [color=orange]========================================================================================================[/color] [color=darkgreen]Battlefields - Dear Billie drawn by Peter Snejbjerg[/color] [url=http://www.stooorage.com/show/741/2216459_book-2-dear-billy.jpg][img]http://t1.stooorage.com/thumbs/741/2216459_book-2-dear-billy.jpg[/img][/url] [color=blue]1942: In the tropical splendour of the South China sea, as the Second World War spreads across the far east, a young woman finds herself in paradise... and then in hell.

Losses have been high and life expectancy is low, but Ken remains undaunted- until he meets his crew, a foulmouthed, battle-hardened bunch with no time for new boys who can't stand the pace. Together, they must take the war to the enemy over the most heavily-defended region of the Third Reich- the industrial heartland of the Ruhr, known to the men who face the flak and nightfighters as Happy Valley.[/color] [color=orange]========================================================================================================[/color] [color=blue]NB: Although i obtained AND named these as individual issues, i chose to package them in seperate "books" like the trade paperbacks. It shoul be noted that in the series, the "books" came out in a different order than the TBPs. I chose to present them in the order of the TPBs. It doesnt really matter, of course, since each "book" is a stand alone mini-series that does NOT cross over into any of the other "books".[/color] [color=red]Comments and thanks are always welcome.[/color]
