Jet Man
The story of Frank Whittle - RAF pilot, mathematician of genius, inventor of the jet engine and British hero.In 1985 Hans von Ohain, the scientist who pioneered Nazi Germany's efforts to build a jet plane, posed the question: 'Would World War II have occured if the Luftwaffe knew it faced operational British jets instead of Spitfires?'
