    Greetings, I am Irina Fyodorovna Sebrova, a flight commander in the women's 46th Taman Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment, famously known as the Night Witches. I was born on 25 December 1914 to an impoverished Russian family in Tetyakovka, Novomoskovsk. Throughout the Second World War, I conducted over 1,000 sorties, earning the title Hero of the Soviet Union in February 1945 for my valor in 825 bombing missions.
