You might also like to try Sqn Ldr Vera Atkins (Sqn Officer in the WAAF, I think) who was part of F Section SOE. She was responsible for dispatching female agents to France, and, after the war, made it her personal goal to discover the fate of all those she sent out who didn't return, and bring those responsible for their murders to trial. Fascinating book about her called 'A Life In Secrets'. Great leadership, showing dedication to her 'girls' even after they had died.
