asked:
I heard the character of Isabella was based on a actual woman who actually saved fliers by taking them over the Pyrenees. Does anyone know if this is true?

Yes! It was based off the life of Andrée de Jongh. Look her up. Isabelle's character has so many things in common with this woman, who actually led downed airmen over the Pyrenees mountains herself.
