Summary For 20-year-old Jack Bleakley volunteering for an unspecified 'dangerous mission' and thus becoming one of a select group of wireless interceptors at the beginning of the war in the Pacific was the start of the experience of his lifetime. Here for the first time is the story of those young Australian men and women whose skill in intercepting coded Japanese transmissions provided General MacArthur's intelligence operations with vital information about enemy operations in the South West Pacific Area
