Biography

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 (née Hope), one of the first women to go to Cambridge University and Neville Chamberlain's niece.
