The Second World War spawned a plethora of crack special forces
units (Long Range Desert Group, SAS, SBS, Phantom and Commandos)
but 30 Assault Unit remains, even today, far more secretive and
exclusive than the others. Formed by Ian Fleming, who was working
for Naval Intelligence, 30 AUs mission was to penetrate and operate
behind enemy lines, capture by whatever means necessary vital
intelligence and feed it back to London where it could be
assimilated and acted upon. This crack team of commandos included
mavericks such as Patrick Dalzel-Job (generally regarded as the
model for Flemings fictional secret agent 007), and less well known
(despite their conspicuous bravery) figures such as Captains
Huntingdon-Whiteley, Captain Martin-Smith. Lieutenant Commander
Curtis and Lieutenant McFee. The author has trawled archives and
interviewed veterans in order to piece together the history and
record of this elusive special forces unit who fought with great
distinction and achieved results disproportionate to their size.
