Thanks. I have read that one. Hanyok has written several articles that I have found useful in the past. He also wrote “Eavesdropping on Hell: Historical Guide to Western Communications Intelligence and Holocaust, 1939–1945” which is an analysis of Allied code breaking in reference to German messages concerning the Holocaust. I haven’t read this yet, but I understand it is pretty interesting.
IF you haven't already done so, the fact that senders of manual morse code can be uniquely recognized by their "fist" adds an element to signals intelligence that may be worth addressing in your research.
Yes, it's long been known that a morse sender has a style every bit as unique as handwriting or a paper signature. However, CW which is short for continuous wave and popularly known as morse code is becoming such an increasingly obscure technology that many modern readers are unlikely to be aware of the uniquely identifiable characteristics of a senders "fist" and what that implies from a SIGINT standpoint.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye open for it.
As for our discussion about MacArthur and the Philippines, I have had problems with the OSU library due to both of us being on holiday schedule. I did make it there briefly Saturday just before closing and again yesterday but for less than 2 hours prior to closing.
I did manage to obtain and read Gen Wainwrights 1946 book "General Wainwright's Story: The account of four years of humiliating defeat, surrender, and captivity". If there was anyone that might hold a grudge against MacArthur, it would be Wainwright but he is basically supportive of all MacArthur's decisions.
Even when looking for ways to "read between the lines", I didn't find cause in Wainwrights book to justify the sort of criticism directed at MacArthur by those who were not present. Never-the-less, there are memoirs of other first hand participants I have yet to read but hope to do so in the coming days.
It's already too late to head down to the OSU library today but hopefully I can get there early tomorrow and research the memoirs of other first hand participants. We will continue this discussion.
