Synopsis 

When Germany betrays their Russian armistice and all men are fighting at the front, a team of civilian female fighter pilots must defend their home against the invading Nazi forces. Led by an army commander gone rogue, a courageous newcomer with a mysterious past, and a brilliant engineer smuggling university resources, an outnumbered group of teenage girls are caught in the epic backdrop of history unfolding. They must learn to fly highly flammable crop-duster planes, inspire fear in their better-armed enemies, and create an unforgettable legend. Based on the historically true, but little known, WWII Night Bomber Aviation Regiment that rose to the occasion.
