Female pilots for more Soviet types?

[Charon]

I think it's great that we've got the option of female pilots for the U2-VS and the Yak-1s. Could we extend this option to other Soviet types? In particular, I can find references to women flying the following types in combat:

 

Il-2:

 

Anna Yegorova (She even has a memoir that has been translated into English -- recommended)

 

Lyolya Boguzokova

 

Mariya Tolstova

 

Lidiya Shulayknia

 

Tamara Konstantinova

 

Pe-2:

 

Valentina Kravchenko

 

Antonina Zubkova

 

Klavdia Fomicheva

 

Nadezhda Fedutenko

 

Galina Dzhunkovskaya

 

Yak-7/9:

 

Zuleykha Seyidmammadova

 

Antonina Lebedeva

 

Mariya Kuznetsova

 

(Likely quite a few others, as the 586th apparently converted to Yak-7s and Yak-9s in 1943, but it's harder to find information on who flew which particular models of Yaks).

This is something that I would be happy to endorse and pay for even as the female pilot contribution was not insignificant.
