Overview: Wilfred J. Holmes a.k.a. Alec Hudson was born on April 4, 1900 in Stockport, New York. Wilfred Holmes graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis in 1922; and had a master’s degree in engineering from Columbia University. He served as a line officer in the Navy, in submarines.
In 1941 Wilfred Holmes was recalled to duty and assigned to Station HYPO, which was breaking Japanese codes, especially their naval cipher JN-25. By May 1942 US Naval Intelligence knew that the Japanese were planning an attack at a spot they called “AF”, but did not know what “AF” signified. Navy cryptanalyst Joseph Rochefort thought “AF” was Midway Island. Holmes had the idea of faking a water supply failure on Midway. He suggested using an unencrypted emergency warning, in the hope of provoking a Japanese response, thus establishing whether “AF” was Midway. Holmes’ ruse worked and led to the Japanese defeat at the Battle of Midway. Holmes was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.
Under the pen name “Alec Hudson”, Holmes wrote submarine adventure stories for the Saturday Evening Post, Adventure and The Blue Book Magazine; and technical articles about submarine warfare and naval intelligence operations.
Wilfred J. Holmes died on January 7, 1986
