Part 2 of a 3-part series on Ohio's famous WWII codebreakers: Dayton native Joseph Rochefort was the naval officer most responsible for America's tide-turning victory against the Japanese at the Battle of Midway, having decrypted the code that allowed for an ambush. But superior officers who didn't like that this high school dropout who never attended the Naval Academy was in charge of the Pacific's codebreaking team conspired to downplay his role, which remained all but secret for decades.
