Noor Inayat Khan
(Public Domain: IWM).
Noor Inayat Khan wasborninMoscowtoanaristocratic
Indian family and, as a Sufi Muslim, was a pacifist.
In Paris in the 1930s, where she became fluent in
French, she wrote children's stories and studied the
harp. As war loomed, her family fled to London, where
she enlisted in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force
(WAAF).
She trained as an agent and radio operator for the
Special Operations Executive (SOE), which supplied
and supported the French Resistance in their intelligence
and sabotage work. On the night of June 16,
1943, she was sent into France-the first woman in
this role.

The Type III Mk.2 radio set was fitted into a suitcase,
and sent and received Morse code messages at
frequencies in the HF band. It had an output power of
