Second World War Inventions

It was around the 1930s that many of the products, devices and concepts as we know them today have been discovered: antibiotics, radars, turbojets, plastics from rubbers and synthetic fuels, Radio… But we will have to wait until the beginning of World War II to make all these inventions and finally find their industrial development. This book tells the story of 50 discoveries, chosen arbitrarily among many others which, by allowing us to understand the great story through that of technology, sheds new light on what the gigantic Overlord operation was. AUTHOR: The author was 14 years old when he met for the for the first time the British genius on the fields of Battle of Normandy. Now retired (career in the Air Force as an officer-interpreter and then civil research engineer), he lives in his small country house, a former pumping built by the British engineer in 1944, where he spends much of his time doing to continue the fame of the Royal Engineers and to write about their achievements in Normandy. In particular, he published articles on the construction of airfields and the logistics associated to the Overlord operation.
