Women in the Battle of Britain (The WAAF and other units)

Women in the Battle of Britain (The WAAF and other units) Part of Battle of Britain Week on WW2TV In today's show our guest Sarah-Louise Miller will be covering the WAAF (Women's Auxiliary Air Force) during the battle, mainly in terms of intelligence work, but also in terms of keeping the RAF flying in roles such as administration and as mechanics. Although historians have previously talked about the WAAF in their role as part of the Anti-Aircraft defence of Britain with barrage balloons and other "traditional" female work, their role in intel has almost always been overlooked. Sarah will talk about the Dowding System (the world's first wide-area ground-controlled interception network) and the vital contribution of women within this, as radar operators, mechanics/technicians, filterers, plotters, watch officers, Operations Room personnel and in communications. Understanding this important part of the Battle of Britain should prompt a reassessment of the battle and its outcome. Sarah-Louise Miller is a final-year doctoral candidate in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London. She holds a BA (first class) and an MPhil in History. She has written and researched on the women of the Special Operations Executive and the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force. Her MPhil research considered the work of the WAAF in British Air Intelligence in the Second World War, specifically their contribution to military intelligence behind major RAF operations during this period, including the Battle of Britain, the Dambusters Raid, the Thousand Bomber Raids and the discovery of the V Weapons. Sarah is the leader of WIWIP (Women in War and International Politics) an initiative run out of the Department of War Studies that seeks to give greater visibility to the achievements of women in the fields of War Studies, International Politics, Security and Defence, and works closely with the department’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee in this capacity. She is also a member of the King’s Intelligence and Security Group. Staff Bios and Social Media https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/sarah-lo...
