Women in WWII

A former British operative in France is still haunted by the war and the gaps in his memory sustained by a head injury that nearly cost him his life. His daughter, Charlotte, is determined to help fill in those gaps and find the agent who saved his life during that final mission. But as she learns more about Chloe and Fleur, two SOE agents stationed in France with a connection to her father, she discovers troubling evidence of a double agent risking all their lives. The truth of what happened in those final days of war is far more shocking than Charlotte — or her father — ever could’ve imagined.

Based on the true story of three nurses nicknamed “the Angels of Bataan,” When We Had Wings follows three women who forge a connection at the Army Navy Club of Manila before being caught up in the combat between U.S. and Japanese forces in the Philippines. Taken into captivity as some of the first female POWs of the Second World War, Eleanor, Penny, and Lita do their best to keep themselves and their fellow inmates alive under the most horrific of conditions.

Like Women of the Post, Sisters in Arms highlights the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. Grace and Eliza come from very different backgrounds, but in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, they are on even ground. Both women will be among the first female officers the Army has ever seen and some of the first Black women ever allowed to serve. There are many determined to see this so-called experiment fail, but Grace and Eliza are determined to ensure the battalion’s success, even when that means putting their own lives on the line.
