Lieutenant Ludmila Gorbunova (1922-1965) was a Soviet fighter pilot. At the beginning of World War II, Gorbunova flew a small biplane. When the Race's Conquest Fleet invaded Earth in 1942, Gorbunova's small biplane became an asset, as it was so small as to be beneath the Race's notice. When Germany declared war on the Race in 1965, it deployed atomic bombs against several Polish cities, including Lodz. Gorbunova was assumed to have been killed during the bombing.
