What would Amelia Earhart like to see happen?
One of the things I feel she would have liked to see was the role given female pilots in WW2. - The governments (of US, Britain and Canada) could have ignored them, but opened up thousands of jobs for experienced female fliers as delivery and communications pilots. Most people still don't know it, but throughout WW2 almost all of the Allies large bombers and many of the fighters were delivered from their building plants to the squadrons by female pilots. This often entailed long dangerous flights in unarmed aircraft over the Atlantic to Britain and Africa. I know of this principally as my Dad worked at an RAF Bomber Maintenance Unit in Libya in 1941-43. The American women fliers delivered bombers to his unit to have desert air filters installed and he told me how stunned they were when a Boston or Marauder arrived direct from the US and women pilots emerged ! - Amelia would have loved that. - well, maybe not -she would have wanted to be a fighter pilot - -
What was useless to the German Nazis?
A NAZI spy who preferred waiting on tables to his half-hearted attempts at espionage sent back "entirely worthless" information from wartime Britain.MI5 files revealed yesterday German Intelligence complained that bungling Werner Strebel, 42, was only interested in cash to fund a cushy lifestyle. He was sent to London just before war broke out with a cover as a foreign correspondent and stock ADVERTISEMENT of secret ink, to spy on the RAF station in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. But he sent back only three secret "quite useless" messages, after complaining he could not get near the base because of the sentries. Swiss-born Strebel was hired by Heinrich von Wenzlau, of the Abwehr (German military intelligence) despite being told his new recruit's only qualifications for cloak and dagger work were an appetite for "good food, good drink and easy living". For £7 or £8 a week, he agreed to go behind enemy lines - to the Luton area - and send back secret messages written in invisible ink with a toothpick. However, a dire warning composed in September of a huge air attack on a German chemical works "within days" did not actually reach Berlin until two months later. Despite his failure he was sent back to Britain in March 1940 by his bosses, who never heard anything from him again. Apparently rather than infiltrate the higher reaches of Allied Command, he was working as a restaurant waiter in London. Strebel was tasked with finding out everything about the RAF station at Dunstable, including its exact location, size, the length of the runway, how many airmen were based there, how it was illuminated at night and whether it was used for fighter or bomber planes. But he apparently sent back only three secret messages, all of which were considered "quite useless" by Nazi spy chiefs. --Mark Branagan--
