TRUTH !!
Julia had been turned down by the US Navy (they said she was too tall) and
instead joined the OSS (Office of Strategic Services), an intelligence
organization created in June 1942. The OSS was a spy agency, precursor to
the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), and it played a significant role in
the war effort. Child's work was top-secret, and only became public
knowledge in 2008, when thousands of personnel documents were published for
the first time.
Yes, She was 6'2" tall !
Yes, She invented Shark Repellant, which is still in use today .
Since underwater explosives were often used against Nazi vessels, it was
important that sharks not get near them, as the sharks would often bump into
the explosives or jostle them and set them off prematurely. The explosives
would be coated with the repellent, keeping the sharks away. This was
critically important in the battle against German U-boats.
