Midway secret leaked
Hat tip to Jeff Groves who sent me the link to this story that revealed that the fact we had broken the Japanese naval code, or at least strongly hinted at it, was published in the newspaper at the time.

An amazing story
I’ve seen the footage that is referred to in this story. I suspect many WWII history buffs will recognize it. Amazing to know the history behind it. I look forward to the book.
