xUncover the untold stories of the quick-minded women who helped secure Allied victory in WWII through top-secret photographic intelligence.
At RAF Medmenham, an ornate Victorian manor overlooking the River Thames, women played an integral role in the Allied Central Interpretation Unit. These Women of Intelligence analyzed air photography, seeking intricate details of enemy activity that influenced virtually every Allied operation. Told in their own words, discover the remarkable contributions of these often-overlooked heroines, from Churchill's daughter to women escaping home for the first time.
Explore the secret world of photographic interpretation, the strategic importance of air photography, and the personal stories of women who broke barriers and helped win the war. This is a must-read for anyone interested in:
