Barbara Saks from England
Barbara saw Bomber's Moon: Girls Beneath the Bombs on Rocky Mountain PBS in 2009 and contacted the directors with her amazing story. She has been part of our Bomber's Moon and From Mists of Time (our non profit organization dedicated to recording story-telling) family and the wittiest lady any of us have ever met. With Barbara there is always "that's another tale" to tell. And we marvel at her 92 years young wisdom. Barbara was with the Royal Air Force at Bletchley Park and "plotted" the aircraft, --- laid down coloured arrows on the huge Sector Table Map to plot the track of the planes for the Controller on the Upper Deck to follow. She was with the RAF fighters, Spitfires and Hurricanes, and it was they, the Few, who stopped the invasion of Britain on her 23rd birthday, Sunday 15th September 1940, Battle of Britain Day.
