Sr. Lt. Lydia Vladimirovna Litvyak, known as the “White Lily of Stalingrad”.
History’s first female fighter ace (the only other female ace is her countrywoman, Capt. Yekaterina Budanova), Litvyak was shot down and killed on her 66th combat mission on Aug. 1, 1943. Records differ wildly, but she had scored perhaps as many as 18 solo and shared air-to-air kills. By the time of her death she’d received the Order of Lenin and the Order of the Red Banner, her nation’s second- and third-highest decorations.
On May 5, 1990, Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev posthumously awarded Litvyak the Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union, her nation’s highest decoration.

The song is 'Lydia The Tattooed Lady', performed by the great Groucho Marx on the Dick Cavett Show on June 13, 1969. I do not own the copyright to this song and nor do I make any money(s) from this video...
