World war 2 is fascinating in that its the first war, when time and time again, technological developments that occurred during the war were critical in determining the outcome of the war.
The first one of these was the german magnetic mine. To say that it rattled the british is kind of an understatement. Churchill said that it 'I fear it may encompass our ruin'.
The story of how it was beaten, in part by luck, and in part by skill, is one of the early and frequently untold stories of…
Have you ever seen a video where it looked like a car's wheels or a helicopter's blades were spinning backwards?
