Mission Improbable tells the stories of 15 women from the Women's Auxiliary Air Force who served with the Special Operations Executive during the Second World War,and whose mission was indeed improbable - to help the French drive out the German invader.It was dangerous and delicate work where a single mistake could
prove fatal.These young women suffered horrific ordeals,and it is a wonder that any of them emerged alive - yet over half did.Theirs are stories of endurance,skill and bravery far above the call of duty - stories of a group of women who helped fulfill the vital role of assisting the French underground to receive the men and supplies it so desperately needed.
