Virginia Hall (1906-1982): The Most Dangerous Spy of All 

Book 2 available here. Full entry on the website – with footnotes and citations  – available right here. Art notes after the cut.

I can’t believe I forgot to mention this (blame not sleeping all night) – her story is already in development as a film. Daisy Ridley (Rey from Star Wars) is set to play Virginia. More here.

This movie has been in various states of development for like a decade, but I think it’s got incredibly good odds of being in the current development climate.

And while we’re here, have a cute picture of Virginia and Paul (he’s the one on the right). The other two pictured are OSS reinforcements who came in along with Paul, but neither stuck around very long – so I relegated their presence in the story to a footnote.
