Jones was a secret hero of British intelligence in World War II, whose genius for scientific tricks baffled German bombers and saved thousands of lives. A master practical joker, puzzle-solver, hoaxer and harmonica player (one retired spymaster fondly remembered him playing Scottish airs at a crowded Chinese restaurant), Reginald Victor Jones turned his whimsy into a devastating weapon in wartime. He was recognized -- at least by the world's intelligence services -- as the father of electronic warfare, a pioneer in technology to mystify, mislead and surprise the enemy.'He did more to save us from disaster than many who are glittering with trinkets.' Winston Churchill said." - New York Times Obit.
