The people who were on that ASIST panel, as well as others who were involved in such work during World War II and the years immediately following, contributed to a book published in 2005: Covert and Overt: Recollecting and Connecting Intelligence Service and Information Science (Asist Monograph Series), edited by Robert V. Williams and Ben-Ami Lipetz. Contributors included some names that will be familiar to many of you (although sadly, most are no longer with us): Norman Horrocks, Robert S. Taylor, David Batty, Lee Strickland, Hal Wooster, Robert Lee Chartrand, and others. You can find reviews and commentary about this book in many places on the Web, and the book is probably in your university library (or it should be!).

There was a great panel presentation at ASIS&T about ten years ago featuring information scientists who had been in covert intelligence during WWII. Some were British and some US. Some were military and some were CIA or similar orgs. Two were even wearing "the old tie". It was interesting and exciting. I have my notes filed away somewhere. (I remember wishing that Wilf Lancaster - CIA I think - had been there, but he had retired from ASIS by then.) I believe that many developments we take for granted now had their origin far away from the public light of peer review and publication.

Depends on what part. As a Naval officer I was a communications officer for one tour, which meant that I had to attend a Naval communications school that included cryptology and other intelligence related areas.
