Budanova was one of them. She joined the Soviet Army and became a lighter pilot after working as a non-
military pilot. At first, Budanova's officer didn't believe in her ability. But in a short time Budanova became
famous for her talent and remarkable flying skills. Unfortunately, she died at the age of 26 in air-to-air fighting
against German planes although she already shot down one plane and hit a second before being shot down
herself. Interested in flying at an early age, Lydia Ultvyak joined a flying club and performed her
first solo flight at the age of 15. She became a fight instructor after graduating from the military flying school.
