The firefight that ensued lasted three hours, VMA-211’s squadron commander Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Raible was killed along with mechanic Sergeant Bradley Atwell, and eight AV-8B Harrier aircraft were destroyed (“USCENTCOM Bastion Summary”, 2012).

    For the final biography project, my writing will focus on a group of pilots, not just one person. Specifically, it will focus on the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, a part of the Soviet Air Force group during World War II that was nicknamed the “Night Witches” for the near silence of their attacks (Garber, 2013). They are different from other regiments of women pilots because they were some of the first to be allowed to fly combat missions rather than just support. They received pushback from their fellow male pilots, but the group eventually became one of the most decorated during its’ service. Their successes, including over 30,000 missions in four years, were with planes meant for crop-dusting a training with their uniforms hand-me-downs from…

While he participates in every bombing run, and has a close relationship with most of his men, his men are performing poorly…
