1 	Welcome to the Aerodrome 	Jan 5, 2019 	New recruits with wildly differing backgrounds and expectations arrive at the all-woman 588th Regiment to do their part for their country at war. These experienced pilots get accustomed to life on the base, deal with dismissive males from better equipped regiments, and start training, until time for their first training flight finally comes.

2 	Don't Turn Around, The Politruk's in Town	Jan 12, 2019	Tatania's section C, without Nikita but with a new pilot — Irina Ahlberg —, ace their first night mission and get revenge for the boys at the 218th's defacing of their planes. Also, the deputy politruk — Anastasia's sister — takes stuff away, Lena renames her beloved #42 Clipper and the politruk teaches them all about betrayal. 	YouTube
3 	Graduation 	Jan 19, 2019	Nikita has a dreadful interview the politruk who urges her to denounce so-called Lavender Women. The section, minus Anastasia, flies their last training mission — bombing real Nazi positions — and, in the midst of a string of failures that include Lena possibly releasing her unused bombs on Soviet troops while the 218th are watching, manage to disrupt the enemy's communications. Graduation Day comes and goes. The 588th is sent to Trud Gornyaka, where there are cows on the airstrip and pilots sleep in holes. It's war, with nightly sorties, and additional training for those who failed to fully qualify. But Lena still has her Clipper and there are poker games to be played with Mel.	YouTube
4 	Protectors 	Jan 26, 2019	Tatania's section are tasked with providing cover for troops retreating from Rostov on Don. Blinded by enemy searchlights, hit by guns, Tatiana and Sara, as well as Irina and Lena, have to crash-land. Anastasia and Nikita manage to carry out the mission but can't help their comrades.
Four days later, Tatania, Irina and Lena are back, carrying the lifeless body of Sara. Lena spends a night with Mel in a private spot in the mechanics' hangar.
Meanwhile, the politruk has overheard a conversation in which Svetlana was told about a lesbian airwoman. With her naïveté and self-doubt, Anastasia set in motions events that ultimately lead Lena to denounce herself as the Lavender Woman in question and be taken away in a truck, lest her lover Mel denounce herself and suffer worse consequences for a repeat offense.

5Both Sarah (Lena) and RocketteFox (Tatania) were absent. 	Witch Hunter 	Feb 2, 2019 	Three new airwomen integrate section 2C. One —Sergeant Ludmila Ivanova — had a fistfight with Irina in the past; another — Sergeant Veronika Kurdina — had her whole section wiped out in a raid that left her scarred in more ways than one; and the third one is a fervent Communist.
After taking heavy losses from Yellow Tail, the regiment needs to be reorganized. As a nod to her valor, Tatania is moved to another section, leaving Nik in charge.
Their first mission is to take a truck, mechanics and material, to retrieve Little Clipper and #13 to reconstitute the section. Unofficially, they are also tasked with bringing back the bodies of Veronika's section. Nik successfully leads the team through both tasks and Captain Barsukova subsequently promises to have the trinkets they recovered delivered to the families of the seven pilots who can now be officially recognized as heroes.
The first air mission on German positions, with the new roster and the newly spruced planes, is a success, even though Nik had to crawl on Clipper's wings to detach her malfunctioning bombs in flight.
On their way back, the section narrowly avoids disaster, as they almost fail to see the ambush set by Nazis on the auxiliary air field they had taken off from, and which was now overtaken by the enemy. Veronika bombs the munitions depot and the fuel tanks on the airfield, so that none of the other planes fall in the ambush.
On the night of January 4th 1943, they are assembled to hear grim news: Marina Raskova just died in a heroic mission. It somehow doesn't seem fitting to honor her by cancelling the night's missions.	YouTube

11 	Hearsay 	Mar 16, 2019	The information that Klaus Müller, the nazi spy, reveals under sufficient duress from Captain Barsukova and Anosova, leads to widespread speculation about the identity of the traitor: mechanic armorers have the right access and Mel herself goes missing for hours; the Politruk and her deputy could also smuggle information.
Despite increasing tension within the 588th, to the point that Irina senses everybody being suspicious of everyone else, including within section 2A, the bombing of the German HQ and its tanks is a complete success that opens the road to Warsaw and Germany.
Svetlana hands Tatiana a drawing from her mother, signed with an X and an arrow: whatever she went through after turning herself in, she has survived, and she shows how bad the situation is in Leningrad, hereby giving a meaning to Tatania's latest premonition.	YouTube
