These are the cartoon strip (mis)adventures of Britain's first and best loved World War II Pin-up -- the scintillating, blue eyed, blond-haired, clothes-phobic cartoon legend that is Lady Jane Gay. The ever patriotic Jane wasted no time in joining up after Britain's entry into the war following a brief stint as a chauffeur, secretary and with the W.A.A.F.S. Jane finally joined Army Intelligence in 1941 where she stayed off and on for the remainder of the war, battling 5th columnists and Nazi spies. The strip originally appeared in the Daily Mirror in 1932 and ran to 1959 and she was at her most famous and inspirational during the war years... this volume was compiled and edited by David Leach who managed to track down material not seen in print for over sixty years, he gained permission from the Canadian Government to reprint an article that was run in the Canadian military's newspaper The Maple Leaf, and spent over 18 months painstakingly tracking down material to scan.
