Description: The Royal Society Fellows have knowledge and skills in many fields of engineering, medicine, science and technology. Within their own fields they are high profile individuals yet it is doubtful that there will ever be a definitive list of who did what during World War Two although individually and collectively, the Fellows were involved in many wartime activities.
