shamelessly stolen from a well known german news page 
Female Pilots:
Russian fighter pilots Lilia Litwak, Katja Budanowa and Maria Kuznetsowa from the 558. Nightbomberregiment. the unit contained only of female pilots and destroyed/damaged 17 Bridges, 9 trains,26 Supply depots, 176 Transports and 86 gun emplacements of the German Invaders
They were flying the PO-2 Biplane, a light bomber.
Germans called them "Nachthexen" = "night witches". with their agile but slow biplanes they were able to evade fast german fighters and harassed german ground positions at night.
There is an inconsistency not in your quoting, but in the pictures compared to the article. The article refers to the PO-2 bilplane, but those three ladies are posing in front of a fighter airplane. Either it is staged, or those 3 ladies are actually from the 556th Fighterregiment.
However, of all those low quality pictures, I'd probably taken this:
Nadesha Popowa and Jekaterina Rjabowa (german spelling)
