Nadezhda Popova
Nadezhda (Nadia) Vasil'yevna Popova ((ウクライナ語:Надія Василівна Попова), (ロシア語:Наде́жда Васи́льевна Попо́ва); 17 December 1921 – 8 July 2013) was one of the first military female pilots in the Soviet Union, and was highly decorated with awards including the title "Hero of the Soviet Union", the Gold Star Medal, the Order of Lenin, and three Orders of the Red Star during the Second World War.
==Early life==
Popova was born in Shabanovka (Orlovskaya oblast), Russia, on 17 December 1921.〔Douglas Martin, ("Nadezhda Popova, WWII 'Night Witch', Dies at 91" ), ''New York Times'', 14 July 2013.〕 Daughter of a railwayman, she grew up near the Donetsk coal fields in Ukraine. As an adolescent, she loved music, song, and dance, taking part in amateur plays and musicals, dreaming of becoming an actress. ''The Economist'' reported that she was a "wild spirit, easily bored; she loved to tango, foxtrot, sing along to jazz. It made her feel free." When a small aircraft landed near her village, she became enamored with aviation, enrolling in a gliding school at the age of 15〔 without telling her parents.〔Milanetti, page 94〕 "Walking towards a plane, every time, she would get a knot in her stomach; every time she took off, she was thrilled all over again."〔
In 1937, she made both her first parachute jump and her first solo flight at the age of sixteen. Despite her parents' opposition, she pursued her new passion and obtained her flying license.
She was initially rejected as a student by a pilot school,〔Milanetti, page 79〕 but after Polina Osipenko, the Inspector for Aviation in the Moscow Military District, recommended her, she was allowed to enroll in the Kherson flight school, graduating at the age of eighteen and becoming a flight instructor.〔Milanetti, page 95〕
