Latest Book – A WAAF at war: or balloons at Bletchley Park

By Margaret Wilson (Author) as told to Simon Mahoney (Blind ghostwriter for the blind)

ISBN: 979-8378417490

This is Margaret’s story, an ordinary young woman from the shires who voluntarily joined the war against Germany and the Nazi Party.

It is a story that takes us from a small rural coal mining town to the sheer hard graft of handling highly hazardous barrage balloons, a sojourn at an operational bomber base.

From there we are taken into the almost monastic world of signals intelligence collection at Bletchley Park. Not for her the interminable copying of sacred texts, rather the transcribing of enemy signal traffic.

To this day Margaret will not talk about her work at Bletchley Park in any detail. This has caused frustration amongst historians, including Bletchley Park itself.

Winston Churchill described the young women at Bletchley as ‘the geese that laid the golden eggs and never cackled.’

And so it has proved.
