Kathleen Godfrey

Kathleen Margaret Godfrey (marred names Kinmonth and Warren; 30 October 1922 – 19 October 2015) was a British Women's Auxiliary Air Force officer who served in two highly secretive roles during the Second World War; the first as a radio operator for radar and then at Hut 3 of Bletchley Park working to extract intelligence from cracked Enigma ciphers. Her father was John Henry Godfrey, a Royal Navy officer on whom Ian Fleming is said to have based James Bond's boss "M", and her mother was Bertha Margaret Godfrey ( Hope), one of the first women to go to Cambridge University and Neville Chamberlain's niece.
