Hero of the Soviet Union Mariya Ivanovna Dolina enlisted in the 269th Fighter Regiment in 1941 and flew 200 special missions in an antiquated U-2 trainer aircraft, carrying commands, mail and medical supplies to the hard-pressed Southern Front. In 1942 she graduated from flying the fast twin-engined Pe-2 bomber with the 587th Dive Bomber Regiment and her first combat mission was over Stalingrad. Promoted to guard captain, she became deputy squadron commander of the 125th Guards Bomber Regiment M. Raskova and led her comrades in 72 successful bombing raids over the North Caucasus, Kuban, Crimea, Kursk, Belarus and the Baltic Sea. Ivanovna survived the war and served in the Soviet Air Force until the 1970s.
