A story that remained secret for 50 years

This mission of this site is to tell the story of hundreds of people who worked at the United States Naval Computing Machine Laboratory, a top secret project in Dayton during World War Two. These people kept their secret for over fifty years.
I am grateful to the Archive Center at Dayton History, the Wenger Command Display [1] in Pensacola, Florida, friends at the NSA Cryptologic History Center and the National Cryptologic Museum [2], and the many veterans–WAVES and sailors– who have been so generous over the years for a share of the photographs presented here.

Thanks for learning about a part of Dayton’s, and the nation’s, history.


Cryptography in the News

A 6 minute videoposted on YouTube explaining the importance of cryptography in this age of information. Produced by IBM, yes, but it mentions WW2 codebreakers!
