They were ‘closer’ in 'many ways than men. “Women are supposed to be unpunctual—the most punctual and the best drivers we had were women from the F.A.N.Y. “It is. sometimes said that w<?men lack physical courage ” Then he told of four young girls from the F.A.N.Y. who joined his underground organisation, were parachuted into France ,and later captured by the Germans.
