Exhibit - Breaking the Code: Dayton's Secret Role in WWII

This exhibit explores the profound connection between cryptology in WWII and Dayton, Ohio - a topic largely unknown to the general public. The full extent of Oakwood's Joseph Desch's groundbreaking work, the WAVES stationed at Sugar Camp, or the operations conducted in NCR's "Building 26" is outlined in this exhibit at Wright Library.

Made possible with support from the National Cryptologic Museum, Oakwood Unsung Heroes, National Aviation Heritage Area honoring Montgomery County as an American WWII Heritage designation, and Wright Memorial Public Library Foundation.
