Published for the first time since its creation in 1942, this 'most secret' facsimile reveals the many marvellous and ingenius escape aids created by MI9 to help Allied personnel both evade capture and escape from prisoner of war camps. From silk maps designed to be concealed in garments, tiny radio receivers hidden in cigar boxes and cleverly disguising uniforms, these gadgets and inventions were the brainchild of Christopher Clayton Hutton, the eccentric MI9 inventor who inspired many of Q's creations in James Bond. 'Most Secret' offers a rare look at the most highly classified and clandestine tools of British espionage.
