Unveiling the Truth: The Mystery Behind Sandra Wesgate

In Masters of the Air Episode 7, we see Crosby's relationship with Sandra Wesgate develop further. But was she a real person? Let's delve into the details.

Crosby first met Wesgate in Episode 6 when he was sent to Oxford for a conference involving the allied nations. This trip also gave him a chance to take a break from the base after the loss of his close friend, Bubbles.

He thought she was a man because her name was A.M. Wesgate and they were sharing a bunk. But she is actually a subaltern in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, a junior female officer. However, she is keeping quiet about her role in the war.

Despite the high level of accuracy in Masters of the Air, Wesgate stands out as a slight anomaly.

Masters of the Air’s Sandra Wesgate wasn’t a real person – but she is inspired by Landra Wingate, a woman Crosby met in real life and wrote about in his memoir.

It is not clear why her name was changed. In Episode 6 of the show's official podcast, directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck mentioned that they had to change her name for different reasons. Some people speculate that Wingate's family may have objected to her portrayal, or maybe they couldn't get permission since Crosby didn't know her well in real life.

According to a user on the show's subreddit, Wingate was described in Crosby's book as an attractive, hard-drinking, well-educated, witty, and self-confident Scot with a mysterious war job.

One viewer speculated in Crosby's memoir that Landra Wingate may have been involved in covert operations or intelligence activities in Europe, although Crosby herself appears unaware of the specifics.

Other viewers have gone as far as suggesting that she may be Princess Elizabeth, which is not the case. However, the series has not yet disclosed her true activities. It is possible that she is one of Alan Turing's codebreakers, or more likely, a spy who is always on call for duty.
