Look up the Soviet 'Night Witches' of WW2.
The Commissars put the female pilots in the worst planes. But the ladies figured out a battle plan. Their tiny biplanes could glide for miles; so they'd wait for nightfall, load up with bombs, and fly as high as possible. Then they'd silently glide over the German lines.
That's terrifying. Sounds like it'd make a good film though
Garth Ennis did a pretty good graphic novel about them.
