* AluminumChristmasTrees: Elizabeth Wein in her afterword is quick to point out that, yes, both the UsefulNotes/{{SOE}} and the ATA were documented to have female agents and pilots in their employ during the Second World War, although very few of them, and she does admit that a female ATA pilot would almost certainly not be allowed to fly to France.

''Code Name Verity'' is a 2012 young adult historical novel set in 1943 Occupied France. Queenie, a British secret agent, has been captured and tortured into giving up the code sets to the wireless radios she was supposed to be transporting to the French Resistance when her plane crashed. Now, the commander of the prison where she has been held, SS-Haupsturmfuhrer Amadeus von Linden, wants her to write down every detail she can tell him about the British war effort. But Queenie has a rather different idea: she'll give up the details, but only by telling the story of her best friend, Maddie Brodatt, who was the one who flew her to France. And Queenie may not be telling the truth about everything she writes....

Has a [[SpiritualSuccessor semi-sequel]] written by the same author, ''Literature/RoseUnderFire,'' which ties into the events of the first book. ''The Pearl Thief'' is a prequel starring Queenie.

Added DiffLines:

* ChekhovsBoomerang: In a conversation about fears, Queenie says that she is afraid of killing someone. Maddie says she's afraid of letting people down, which could include killing someone. Queenie points out that it could also include ''not'' killing someone, if you'd be [[MercyKill "doing them a favor by killing them"]], and they talk about Queenie's great-aunt and -uncle who were in such a situation. Later Maddie finds herself in a situation where she'd be doing someone a favor by killing them. [[spoiler: It's Julie, and she does go through with it.]]
