 Kay Summersby - dKosopedia
She was the chauffeur and, she claimed, "wartime mistress" of then General and future President of the United States Dwight David Eisenhower, who was then serving as Commander of the European Theatre.
Ike Was My Boss, Summersby's 1948 memoir of the war years, makes no mention of her affair with Eisenhower, but her 1976 autobiography suggests that it was common knowledge in wartime London and Washington.
Eisenhower's prudish defenders, however, have maintained that the affair - which by her own account did not include any penetrative sexual act - was strictly a fantasy on her part, and have also questioned the authenticity of the 1976 book, which was not published until after her death.

Jimmy Gault, for company, he had Kay Summersby drive him to Newbury, Wiltshire, where the U.S. 101st Airborne Division was staging for its parachute and glider landings in Normandy's Cotentin Peninsula that night to help protect the landings on Utah Beach.
In some respects the scene was surreal: brave young men, many of whom would be wounded and perish in the coming hours and days, camouflaging their natural fears with bravado; and their commander in chief, deeply cognizant of what he had wrought, concealing his apprehension with smiles and small talk.
Watching him stroll back to his staff car, deep in thought, his shoulders sagging as they did whenever he was troubled, Kay Summersby thought him the loneliest man in the world at that moment.

Promotional material for the book makes much of Eisenhower’s alleged affair with Kay Summersby, his British driver, who in life and apparently in death was the sort of person who invited gossip.
Kay was shown the sights by his son, John, and was hosted at a cocktail party by his wife Mamie.
"What defies rational explanation," D’Este writes, "is why Eisenhower, knowing full well that Kay Summersby was an extremely sore subject with Mamie, and that the two were the object of gossip, would send her to the United States in the first place." Indeed.
