Seems like a click baiting kind of question that I'd surely Bombe.

I ended up mainly doing geophysical field work with a lot of aquisition, processing, and interpretation coding work .. but I dabbled in symbolic computer algebra systems (in Australia) for a while and loitered a little in technical history of the borderline classified - I interviewed "for the record" Leonard Beadell, Jack Wong Sue, Mark Oliphant, people associated with the Mungalalu Truscott Airbase, etc.

I seem to recall a fair bit was done here with early over the horizon radar work but I didn't go far in that direction ending up more in radiometrics and resource | energy tracking.

In the pop-sci space, Robert Buderi's book on radar is really about a lot more than Radar, and covers off on the field really well including Taffy Bowen's work in Australia and the contribution to radioastronomy. (you probably know it)

"that I'd surely Bombe" <- nice bletchley park/enigma pun. Bravo!

Not bad, but I regretted not adding more [Pp]olish . . .
