And steadfast women like Iris Fluff Bower, an RAF nurse who tended wounded soldiers on Normandy beaches; and Felicity Peake, appointed director of the WAAF in 1946 aged just 32. As Philip Ziegler wrote of the first collection: Written with wit, insight, compassion and humour, this is a richly unpredictable medley of colourful personalities.. First Edition. Hard Cover.
