CARRIER

I am in the middle of reading about the huge scam the Brits pulled on the Germans in WWII, fake intelligence to throw them off on many aspects of the war but mostly the DDay location.

There is a chapter on carrier pigeons and their utter ineffectiveness in wartime.

This made me think about it again.

Code Found on Pigeon Baffles British Cryptographers

I also am interested in homing pigeons. I have known some people who had them. I wouldn't want it because of the mess and worry. "Will they come home"?

So I really enjoyed reading this.
