I can't find the book just now, but it is a description of code
breaking in Australia during WWII. Most of the time, they could
break the conversations between Japanese airplanes. But even
when the codes were changed, and had not yet been broken,
direction finding and signal strength told them almost
everything they needed to know about coming attacks.
