One Woman's War DVD

摘要

Following the huge success of Eileen Younghusband's book One Woman's War (reviewed in Aeroplane December 2011), a DVD version of her inspirational story has been produced. At just 18 years old, Eileen joined the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF). She quickly demonstrated her keen intellect and mathematical skills, playing a crucial role in Fighter Command's underground Filter Room. Working gruelling shifts under enormous pressure, she and her companions worked tirelessly tracking the swarms of enemy aircraft that sought to break the British resolve. She even had the dubious honour of detecting the first of Hitler's devastating V2 rockets as it fell on an unsuspecting London. Now 91, Eileen talks us through her fascinatingjourney, accompanied by exclusive video clips and photographs. The DVD has a running time of approximately 55min.
