World War II Nancy Wake signed Maquis D'Auvergne Royal Air Forces Escaping Society Flown FDC PM Montlucon de Centre de la France 29.5.81. Nancy Grace Augusta Wake, AC, GM (30 August 1912 - 7 August 2011), also known as Madame Fiocca and Nancy Fiocca, was a nurse and journalist who joined the French Resistance and later the Special Operations Executive (SOE) during World War II, and briefly pursued a post-war career as an intelligence officer in the Air Ministry. The official historian of the SOE, M. R. D. Foot, said that "her irrepressible, infectious, high spirits were a joy to everyone who worked with her".[1] Many stories about her World War II activities come from her autobiography, The White Mouse, and are not verifiable from other sources. Good Condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. UK postage from £5.99, EU from £7.99, Rest of World from £9.99
