She then applied to the air force, but was rejected.

1943

During a bombing mission on 28 March 1943 over the village of Kievskaya in Krasnodar she was wounded by a shell fragment fired by ground-based anti-aircraft artillery.

Despite her injury she continued navigating so the plane could safely.

When she went to the hospital seventeen shrapnel fragments were removed from her body, but she returned to flying in May less than two months later.

That same year she attended an accelerated piloting course and became certified to fly as a pilot on the Po-2 and soon began flying missions as a pilot.

Her bombing missions destroyed an estimated four artillery batteries, three searchlights, three ferries, two warehouses of fuel and ammunition, and eight cars.
