@onecheman Yes :D

Nice flyby at the end ;)

I think the white rose marking is a myth, it was a name given her not her choice of logo. To the best of my knowledge I have never seen a picture or profile of the Yak with a white rose.

Thanks for posting and sharing and especially liked that the decoration she received for her actions were shown. Great job on the tribute to a great heroine and ace!

Beautiful work, and sad history. RESPECT to a great pilot and for her sacrifice.

Actually it was not a rose but a White Lily painted on the fuselage of her fighter.

The russian name Liliya is directly translated as Lily flower.

RIP, you were a great citizen and fighter.

[oldgitpyon]

wasnt she so short she had to have the controls extended? thats what i heard any way

[oldgitpyon]

@BolivarianYouth i agree



[ramjet81]

She had a white lily painted on the side of the fuselage that was confused for a rose, hence the nickname.

@GerbilEssences THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER WAS THAT SHE OFTEN FLEW WITH ROSES IN HER COCKPIT, AS LILIES ARE, UNFORTUNATELY SYMBOLIC OF DEATH- BUT SHE DID INDEED PAINT A LILY (HER FIRST NAME - LILYA, LILY) ON THE SIDE OF HER A/C.WHICH FROM A DISTANCE COULD EASILY BE MISTAKEN FOR A ROSE. Generations of biographers and writers have made the same mistake..
