Bantam, 2001-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. 9x5x1. [From the library of Benjamin B. King.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Shelf wear. Binding slightly cocked. Small tear to rear end pages. <br> "Benjamin B. King was an intelligence officer for the British Royal Air Force during World War II. After World War 2 broke out in Europe in September 1939, he joined the British Royal Air Force as a 'penguin' who could not fly because of eyesight problems. He was assigned to Coastal Command at the airbase in Wick in the very north of Scotland, which provided defense for Britain in the North Sea, engaging the Germany Navy and Air Force. After his stint at Wick, Ben was transferred to the vital but vulnerable British base at Gibraltar off the coast of Spain, where the British monitored German and Italian military operations in the Western Mediterranean. While in Gibraltar, one of his tasks was to listen to Luftwaffe radio communications and track the movement of German and Italian airplanes. After…

Description:
(Subject: Intelligence, Espionage, Reconnaissance & Electronic Warfare) In 1941 Britain stood alone against the unstoppable Nazi war machine. British and Polish codebreakers at Bletchley Park had broken the German Enigma cipher, but their staff and resources were small. In October 1941, leading codebreakers, including the outstanding Alan Turing, wrote to Winston Churchill asking for help. He ordered that they be given all they needed, adding the instruction: 'Action This Day'. It was to be a key turning point - their brilliant work is believed to have shortened WWII by up to two years. The authors, leading authorities on the work of Bletchley Park, have assembled a number of key writers to explain its importance in the history of codebreaking and the birth of today's computer age. (Published: 2001) (Publisher: Bantam Books) (ISBN: 0593049101) (Pagination: xv + 543pp. Plates, illustrations, bibliography, index.)
