From Mary Lyon:
For those of you who are interested in history, this biography is a good read. Cmdr. Theodore Joyce was with HYPO during the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was also part the intelligence work that brought Yamamoto down. Joyce was later stationed at Kunming with FRUCHI (Fleet Radio Unit China). He was in command of the Intercepting Post for the Radio Intelligence Network that used weather stations around China to intercept Japanese communications and to identify targets for Gen. Chennault’s 14th Air Force Division. The book is Chou Yi-Szu: Sailor-Spy, The Life and Adventures of Cmdr. Theodore W. Joyce, USN (1902-1996) by Paul Pintarich.
